The Reading

Walker, Jearl – "Outdoor Cooking"⁠

⁠

Discussion and Critical Thinking

What are the differences between conduction, convection, and radiation? How do the three sometimes work together in the process described in paragraph 7?

In the process described in paragraphs 8-10, what aspects does Walker describe in most detail? How do his earlier definitions help him in explaining the process?

What devices used in the same process does Walker describe? Does he give a full description of each device, or does he describe only those parts needed in cooking?

What devices used in frying food does Walker describe in paragraphs 11-14? How detailed is his description of each device?

Is Walker writing to readers unfamiliar with laws of physics and cooking techniques? Or does he assume that his readers vary in knowledge and experience?

⁠
