if you want to cook 100 potatoes within a short time, which is the most suitable method?

Question

(1) Fry the potateos in a wok.
(2) Boil the potatoes in a pan
(3) steam the potatoes in a steamer
(4) Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker

Answer 1

(5) soak the potatoes in water for a few hours, then microwave them. If they're large nuke them 5-6 at a time for 5-6 minutes, then flip them over and nuke them another 5-6 minutes. Pull them out and wrap them in Aluminum foil (you'll want to be wearing some heavily insulated cooking mittens when you do this) and set them on the counter. They'll cook the rest of the way just like that.

Answer 3

The answer has nothing to do with the number of potatoes. It has everything to do with the cooking temp. Look for the solution with the highest temp.
1) Frying - you can easily get the oil up to several hundred degrees
2) Boiling - you can only get the water up to the boiling point (212F - let's not argue about impurities or altitude)
3) Steam - once again you are at 212F
4) Pressure cooker allows you to steam at an elevated pressure (and thus temp) but per the steam tables, you can still get hotter with oil.

Answer 4

By far the quickest is in the pressure cooker. (Higher pressure, higher temperature ...something like 121°C at 15 psi above atmospheric pressure in a household pressure cooker). You're actually steaming them with much more heat energy than in water
Potatoes will cook in half the conventional cooking time.

Answer 5

frying the potatoes exposes it to more heat than boiling os steaming....so in a short time just fry the potatoes in a wok

Answer 6

If this is a chemistry question, and you don't care about taste, the first two responses are incorrect because they take into account taste. If this is for homework in a class I will not answer the question. But think about cooking, what you want is the internal temperature to be high for something to be completely cooked. Then think about the ideal gas equation.

Answer 7

I would boil them in several large pots on the stove. The smaller you cut them, the faster they'll cook.

Answer 8

all are OK but they will have to be big
1. big wok
2. big pan (with an ocean of water
3. very big steamer or a ships funnel
4. big cooker

Answer 9

A comercial cooker!
