Word origin
The term 'parboil' originated in the late 15th century and combines 'par,' meaning thoroughly, and 'boil.' It has been used historically in cooking terminologies to refer to the process of partially boiling food items before further cooking. Parboiling helps to soften the food and reduce the overall cooking time.
