Flavor Lab Wednesday — Pan Steaming

How Moist Heat Carries Flavor

Flavor Lab Wednesday explores how flavor behaves, not just how food cooks.

In this episode of Unseen Cuisine, Chef Riq breaks down pan steaming from a sensory and flavor perspective — how trapped steam, gentle moisture, and controlled heat soften textures, concentrate aromatics, and create clean, balanced flavor without heaviness.

You’ll explore:

• How steam moves flavor through food
• Why moisture preserves clarity instead of dulling taste
• How texture and aroma signal doneness before sight
• Why pan steaming feels calm and forgiving in the kitchen

This episode focuses on awareness and trust — learning to listen to what your senses tell you as food cooks.
