Technique Monday — Simmering & Deep Poaching
Gentle Heat, Two Paths | Blind-Friendly & Allergy-Aware
In this Technique Monday episode of Unseen Cuisine, Chef Riq explores two foundational low-heat techniques: simmering and deep poaching.
You’ll learn how these methods differ, when to use each one, and how to control temperature using sound, touch, and steam instead of sight. Both techniques are calm, forgiving, and ideal for building flavor while protecting delicate ingredients.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The sensory difference between a simmer and a deep poach
- How gentle heat affects texture, moisture, and flavor
- Tactile cues that signal proper doneness
- How to cook in dairy-free, gluten-free, and allergy-aware kitchens
This episode sets the foundation for two Recipe Friday dishes, where you’ll apply both techniques side by side.
