    Hi,

    My real passion is Judo but since they taught us Judo using Japanese vocabulary I thought it would not be a good choice.

    I like to cook even though I am a terrible cook. It would be nice if some people on this forum would be kind enough to validate my vocabulary list.

    1. To cook – 料理 – りょうり
    2. To cut – 切断 – せつだん
    3. To chop – 刻む – きざむ
    4. To wash – 洗う – あらう
    5. To burn – 焼く – やく
    6. Fork – フォーク – フォーク
    7. Knife – ナイフ – ナイフ
    8. Spoon – スプーン – スプーン
    9. Chopsticks 箸 – はし
    10. Plate – 皿 – さら
    11. Glass – グラス – グラス
    12. Table – テーブル – テーブル
    13. Bowl – 椀 – わん
    14. Pan – パン – パン
    15. Fruit – 果物 – くだもの
    16. Vegetables 野菜 – やさい
    17. Meat – 肉 – にく
    18. To fry – 炒める – いた炒める
    19. To boil – 茹でる -ゆでる
    20. Chopping board – 俎板 – まないた

    Thank you :)

    Mostly good. Just a couple of issues:

    1. 料理 is a noun. If you want the verb, it’s be 料理する
    2. 切断 is also a noun, and its meaning is closer to “severance” or “amputation”. You’re after 切る
    3. Not completely sure that 刻む is commonly used, but I’m also not completely sure what IS. My Japanese cookbook seems to use variations on 切る, like みじん切り.
    5. 焼く = bake, grill. “Burn” seem to be　焼け付く, though why you’d want to burn the food is beyond me. =P
    13. 椀 = wooden bowl. 碗 = ceramic bowl. Different radical. There’s also どんぶり, which is the sort of bowl you usally serve rice in. Or ボウル.
    14. パン tends to mean bread. If the context is unclear, stick with フライパン.
    18. 炒める = stir-fry. If you mean, like, fry in oil, it’s 揚げる. Yes, when you look that up in the dictionary, it’s probably going to show you it as a variation of 上げる – don’t ask me why.
    19. Boil is more commonly 沸かす.

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you a lot for your answer.

    For the number 5, it is because I am a terrible cook, so I burnt a lot of dishes ;)! I will follow your suggestion and use “to bake” instead.

    I have updated my list with your suggestion. I only kept my version of “to chop” because I already have the word “切る” and the jisho.org definition seems okay.

    1. To cook – 料理する – りょうりする
    2. To cut – 切る – きる
    3. To chop – 刻む – きざむ
    4. To wash – 洗う – あらう
    5. To bake – 焼く – やく
    6. Fork – フォーク – フォーク
    7. Knife – ナイフ – ナイフ
    8. Spoon – スプーン – スプーン
    9. Chopsticks 箸 – はし
    10. Plate – 皿 – さら
    11. Glass – グラス – グラス
    12. Table – テーブル – テーブル
    13. Bowl – 丼 – どんぶり
    14. Pan – フライパン – フライパン
    15. Fruit – 果物 – くだもの
    16. Vegetables 野菜 – やさい
    17. Meat – 肉 – にく
    18. To fry – 揚げる – あげる
    19. To boil – 沸かす -　わかす
    20. Chopping board – 俎板 – まないた
