precooking

They needed no precooking but seemed perfect.

This precooking loosens the hull for easier milling.

As long as greens are young, with stems less than an eighth of an inch thick, they can be sauteed without any precooking.

For thin- or new-shelled lobster, or for any recipe that requires partial precooking.

The only precooking is sauteing some onions, garlic, mushrooms and celery briefly, then adding chicken broth and bringing it to a boil.
