What You Need to Know
The process relies on gelatinization of starches and gentle denaturation of proteins at 90–120 °C, while a high‑temperature surface (~140 °C) initiates Maillard browning that creates a golden crust. The high humidity (~80 % RH) from leaf and husk wrappers preserves moisture and prevents over‑denaturation, resulting in tender, flavorful dishes.
