Twenty-three kitchen verbs make up this list: blanch, cream, cut in, marinate, sift, whisk and zest. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Blanching is the one people get wrong most often. A few seconds in boiling water followed immediately by ice does something specific: it destroys the enzyme that turns cut vegetables brown and grey, which is why blanched green beans stay bright for days and raw ones do not. Cooking the vegetable is almost a side effect.

Two more are precise instructions disguised as ordinary words. To cream is to beat fat and sugar until the sugar crystals have cut air pockets into the fat, which is what makes a cake rise. To cut in is the opposite: keep the fat in cold lumps and coat them in flour, so they melt in the oven and leave the flakes that make pastry pastry.

The PDF prints for a cooking class. Online, the grid is rebuilt every round.
