Filipino Glossary of Cooking Terms - Part 1

Before I start posting recipes and procedures for rich foods for poor souls, it is but wise to post the glossary of cooking terms which I copied from the website of University of Minnesota - Duluth, and translated into the Filipino language. The translation might be inaccurate but I tried my best to minimize incorrectness. I will leave the term in English if no Filipino word is suitable.

Below are some of the Glossary of Cooking Terms that an aspiring cook should know to follow a recipe or make one:

AL DENTE:
Italian term used to describe pasta that is cooked until it offers a slight resistance to the bite.


(AL DENTE: isang termino mula sa Italya na nagsasaad na ang nilutong pasta (spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, atpb. ay tama lamang na makagat ng mga ngipin o pastang hindi lasog ang pagkakaluto o yaong tila may puti pa sa loob).


AL DENTE PASTA

BAKE: 
To cook by dry heat, usually in the oven.


(MAGLUTO SA HURNO: sistema ng pagluluto sa pamamagitan ng hurno o pugon. Dito niluluto ang mga tinapay at keyk, at maging karne ng baboy, manok at iba pa)

BARBECUE: 
Usually used generally to refer to grilling done outdoors or over an open charcoal or wood fire. More specifically, barbecue refers to long, slow direct- heat cooking, including liberal basting with a barbecue sauce.


(PAG-IIHAW: sistema ng paglulutong ginagawa sa labas ng bahay. Kalimitang ang pagkaing iluluto ( karne, lamang-dagat, gulay, atbp.) ay direktang inilalagay sa nagbabagang uling o kahoy. Kadalasan ay pinapahiran ang niluluto ng barbecue sauce o pampalasa.)


CHICKEN BARBEQUE


BASTE:
To moisten foods during cooking with pan drippings or special sauce to add flavor and prevent drying.


(PAHIRAN: pagpahid ng tinimplang pampalasa o natirang pinagbabaran ng karneng iihawin habang niluluto upang lumasa at hindi matuyo ang karne)
