  3. Blend-To combine or mix so that the constituent parts are indistinguishable from one another. • Coat/dredge -To lightly coat food in a powdered substance such as breadcrumbs, cornmeal, flour. Most foods require dipping in a liquid, such as egg or milk, in order for the powdered substance to adhere to the food. • Chop-To cut into small pieces. • Combine-To join (two or more substances) to make a single substance, mix.

  4. Cream-To beat sugar and fat together until fluffy. • Cube- to cut food into small cube shapes, larger than diced, usually about 1/2 inch. • Cut-in-To cut fat into flour with two knives, or a pastry blender, until it is distributed in small particles throughout the mixture.

  5.

Applied to cream, eggs, and gelatin.

  8. Simmer- . To cook below the boiling point, bubbles form slowly and break on the surface. • Poach- Cooking food either partially or completely covered by a liquid which is brought to, and maintained at a temperature just belowboiling point. • Saute- To cook in a small amount of fat. • Roast-To oven-cook food in an uncovered pan.
