Cooking

“cook” means to cook in the broadest sense of preparing food, by whatever means.

There are verbs for two basic types of cooking. “roast (st), fry (st), bake (st)” means to cook by the dry application of heat. It therefore covers what in English are described as roasting, baking, broiling, grilling, and frying, including deep frying. In contrast, “stew (st)” means to cook in hot liquid or vapour and therefore corresponds to the English “stew” and “steam”, as well as “boil” when “boil” refers to cooking something in hot liquid as opposed to making liquid boil.

The verb “make (st) bubble, boil” means to bring liquid to a boil. it is not used for cooking things in boiling liquid. Similarly, “dunulmulh” means to bubble or boil. to boil.

The verb for whipping soapberries to make Indian Ice Cream is: “whip (st) into foam”.
