Sweating (cooking)

Sweating in cooking is the gentle heating of vegetables in a little oil or butter, with frequent stirring and turning to ensure that any emitted liquid will evaporate.^[1] Sweating usually results in tender, sometimes translucent, pieces.^[2] Sweating is often a preliminary step to further cooking in liquid;^[1] onions, in particular, are often sweated before including in a stew.^[a] This differs from sautéing in that sweating is done over a much lower heat,^[2] sometimes with salt added to help draw moisture away, and making sure that little or no browning takes place.^[2]^[4]

The sweating of vegetables has been used as a technique in the preparation of coulis.^[5]
