Let’s go through each definition and match it with the correct word from the list.
We have these words to choose from:
bake, chop, grate/shred, mash,
baste, cream, grease, preheat,
beat, drain, knead, sauté,
blend, fillet, marinate, steam
Now let’s match each numbered definition:
1. “To remove the bones.” → That’s
fillet (like filleting fish).
2. “To soak food in a liquid to tenderize or add flavour to it” → That’s
marinate.
3. “To press, fold and stretch dough until it is smooth and uniform...” → That’s
knead (used for bread dough).
4. “To lightly coat with oil, butter, margarine” → That’s
grease (like greasing a pan).
5. “To cut food into small pieces with a knife.” → That’s
chop.
6. “To cook using dry heat, either covered or uncovered, in an oven...” → That’s
bake.
7. “To make butter or margarine, soft and smooth by beating it... also combining with sugar until light and fluffy.” → That’s
cream (as in creaming butter and sugar).
8. “To stir over and over quickly with a spoon, or rotary motion using a beater...” → That’s
beat.
9. “To scrape food against the holes of a grater making thin pieces” → That’s
grate/shred.
10. “To turn oven on ahead of time so that it is at the desired temperature when needed” → That’s
preheat.
11. “To cook in a covered container (with holes) over boiling water.” → That’s
steam.
12. “To combine two or more ingredients together thoroughly.” → That’s
blend.
13. “To squash food with a fork, spoon or masher” → That’s
mash.
14. “To remove all the liquid using a colander, strainer, or by pressing a plate...” → That’s
drain.
All definitions are matched correctly.
