        Usage Note :

        You often use a more specific verb instead of cook when you are talking about preparing food using heat. For example, you roast meat in an oven, but you bake bread and cakes. You can boil vegetables in hot water, or you can steam them over a pan of boiling water. You can fry meat and vegetables in oil or fat. You can also grill or, in American English, broil them directly under or over a flame. You do not normally talk about grilling bread. Instead, you toast it.

        谈论烹调时,通常使用具体的动词代替 cook,如 roast meat in an oven (在烤箱中烤肉),bake bread and cakes (烤面包和蛋糕),boil vegetables in hot water (用水煮蔬菜)或者 steam them over a pan of boiling water (放在装有沸水的平底锅里蒸),fry meat and vegetables in oil or fat (用油炒肉和蔬菜),也可以 grill them directly under or over a flame (直接在火上面烧烤),美国英语中使用 broil。烤面包通常不用 grill,而用 toast。
