Answer 2

Shallow Poaching Definition

Answer 3

Poaching is a gentle, moist-heat cooking method, a first cousin to braising, steaming and en papillote (steaming in paper).

There are two types of poaching, shallow and deep. No matter which technique you use, the liquid should not be allowed to boil once the food is immersed. The desired temperature is between 180 and 185 degrees, just shy of simmering.

Shallow poaching is used for smaller cuts and is often completed in the oven. The liquid used to poach the fish or meat is then used as the base for a sauce for flavoring the finished dish.

Deep poaching, when the item is completely submerged, is used for either larger portions or more delicate items, particularly seafood. It is done on top of the range and sauces are prepared separately.

Answer 4

Poached refers to a cooking process wherein you use a water, or liquid based, bath to cook the fish. I love poached salmon:

In large poaching pan, or baking dish, place:

1 cup white wine
3 Sprigs fresh dill
1 lemon, cut in slices
Added water or wine depending on how large your pan is. Sit salmon in the bath, cover and poach in oven at 400 degrees or cook on top of the stove until finished.

Answer 5

Poaching is slow, gentle cooking in liquid. Since salmon doesn't need alot of time to cook, even poaching can overcook.
The way I do it with thick salmon steaks, is sautee leeks, garlic and in butter, add either chicken or fish stock, (water can work),

Answer 6

If you sneak onto someone else's property and kill an animal for food, you've poached. You've also poached if you crack an egg onto a saucer and very carefully slide it onto gently boiling water. Poachers poach on occasion, but the simple act of poaching doesn't necessarily make one a poacher.

Answer 7

in a deep 13x9 dish, pour in enough chicken or fish stock to fill bottom of dish but not totally cover the fish, add fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary or tarragon. and put in a preheated oven 375 for 10-15 min depending on size of fish.

Poaching mean to cook in liquid.

Answer 8

means it's cooked in liquid - to poach salmon, in a skillet, place 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 tbspn of dried dill, 2 tbspn lemon juice, and 1 tbspn salt. Let this come to a simmer, then add your salmon fillets. Turn heat to low, and cook until you like it (I prefer a bit of pink in the center of my salmon) ENjoy......

Answer 9

It means to simmer it in stock, milk, water or whatever is called for.
Just like you would poach an egg.
