*Blanching is a cooking process where the food, usually a vegetable or fruit, is plunged into boiling water, removed after a very, very brief time and immediately plunged into ice water. The ice water halts the cooking process and preserves the color. Food is blanched to soften food, partially cook food or to remove a strong flavor.
