Salmon question

monica208

So when I tried to enter my salmon into my diary I noticed for cooked salmon it gives you dry heat or moist heat. Does anyone know what this means and what should I record salmon on the BBQ as. Thanks

I'm not sure what they mean exactly, but I would definitely say grilled salmon is dry heat. Moist would be more like steamed or sauteed I guess???

Examples of Dry Heat is roasting, broiling or sauteing. Examples of Moist Heat is braising, steaming or poaching. So I would say that cooking Salmon on a BBQ would be Dry Heat. Dry heat uses Conduction were as Moist Heat uses Convection.

Conductive is from single source direct heat. In Saute procedure, for example, we use conductive heat. This form of heat is like your BBQ grill, broiler or stove top.

Convective is when heat is spread through the movement of air, steam, or liquid. Stirring is a form of convective cooking. Your oven and most moist cooking methods use convective heat.

Hmm...that's very interesting. I would've just input the method that I cooked the salmon as to how it was actually cooked, i.e. "grilled [brand name if applicable] salmon." So, with the 2 different methods of heat applied to the same food, e.g. salmon, would that affect the calorie count of that food? I understand that the weight of the food would be taken into account, but would it significantly change the calorie count?
