Match To The Definition

Worksheet Description

The “Cooking Terms” worksheet is an instructive activity designed to test and improve students’ knowledge of culinary vocabulary. The worksheet presents two columns: on the left are numbered lines corresponding to different cooking methods, and on the right is a list of definitions lettered A to L. Students are tasked with matching each cooking term with its correct definition, drawing connections between the term and its application in the kitchen.

For example, students must determine which term refers to partially cooking by boiling, which one is used for cooking gently over low heat in barely simmering liquid, or which describes the process of thickening a liquid or sauce by boiling. Terms such as simmer, reduce, poach, stew, and sauté are included to cover a variety of cooking techniques.

This matching exercise not only aids students in memorizing the terms but also helps them understand the subtle differences between cooking processes. Such activities are essential for those learning about culinary arts, as well as for any student looking to become more proficient in practical life skills. The clear and organized format of the worksheet facilitates easy understanding and provides a systematic approach to learning cooking terms.
