[edit] different categories

Can I suggest changing the categories to water-based, steam-based, oil-based, dry-heat, and non-heat? FiveRings (talk) 23:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

And maybe creating a whole other template called 'food preservation techniques'? FiveRings (talk) 23:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Other than smoking, the other methods are not considered cooking techniques but are in fact methods of preservation. They can be associated but they are not the same. They should be handed off into their own template. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 09:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tweaking the taxonomy

Ok, so the template is getting bloated, and I created some sub-categories. I'm trying to avoid things that are just dish names (barbacoa) and stick to heat-based stuff unless there's a real chemical change involved (fermentation yes, marinade no).

I find there is no page for shallow frying or gentle frying - this needs to be rectified, and I'll try to get to it unless someone else does first. The page for just plain Frying is pathetic. Not sure how to handle that. Maybe a disambig pointing to all the other frying pages? Suggestions? FiveRings (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
