What is a moisture change? Is it applied to all recipes?
A moisture change is a gain or loss of water due to a cooking process. However, not all recipes have a moisture change. It is used in a recipe when raw ingredients are cooked. Some cooking processes affect the moisture change more than others and some foods are more affected than others. The moisture change is applied to each ingredient individually and not to the whole recipe. The change depends on the water content of the food. In a recipe, a raw banana will loose more water than the sugar or the flour.
