    As foods lose more and more moisture,


    they become tougher and tougher.

    When foods are cooked for long periods of time, they lose moisture and the characteristics of their fibers tend to bind with less elasticity.

    Unless they're submerged in liquids whilst being cooked or basted often, Chef Shootah. :)

    Try roasting an ice cube and see what happens.
