Worksheet Description

The “Cooking Terms” worksheet is a culinary-themed educational activity designed to sharpen students’ understanding of various cooking techniques. The directions ask students to match specific cooking methods with their definitions. Each numbered line offers a unique cooking method description, and students must write the term that corresponds with each definition from the word bank provided at the top of the page.

This worksheet covers a range of cooking techniques, such as partially cooking by boiling, gently cooking in barely simmering liquid, and cooking uncovered in an oven, among others. The cooking terms listed include “stir-fry,” “parboil,” “steam,” “roux,” “poach,” “simmer,” “sear,” and more. Through this exercise, students are encouraged to engage with key culinary vocabulary, fostering both their language skills and practical kitchen knowledge.

The worksheet’s structured format aids in learning and retention by providing clear definitions that students can associate with each cooking term. This resource is ideal for use in educational settings where cooking or home economics is part of the curriculum, providing a fun and interactive way for students to become more familiar with the language of the kitchen.
