Apply_heat [agentive]

โ€น Back Next โ€บ
A Cook applies heat to Food, where the Temperature_setting of the heat and Duration of application may be specified. A Heating_instrument, generally indicated by a locative phrase, may also be expressed. Some cooking methods involve the use of a Medium (e.g. milk or water) by which heat is transferred to the Food. A less semantically prominent Food or Cook is marked Co-participant.

Sally fried an egg in butter.
Sally fried an egg in a teflon pan.
Ellen fried the eggs with chopped tomatoes and garlic.

This frame differs from Cooking_creation in focusing on the process of handling the ingredients, rather than the edible entity that results from the process.
