Emergence definition

A cooking technique where food is browned at high heat, then cooked slowly in liquid to tenderize and infuse flavors, which emerges from the understanding of heat as the transfer of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and process as a sequence of changes driven by energy and occurring over time.
