Boiling (poaching in water) is the process of cooking food in water at or near boiling temperature. Heat is transferred evenly through the liquid and the ingredient is generally left until it softens. Vegetables, meat, and eggs are commonly cooked this way.
Where It's Used
“Drop the vegetables into boiling water and blanch them briefly so they stay crisp.”
