Dip:
1. Tasty semi liquid concoction usually served in a small bowl into which one dunks any of a variety of snack foods.
2. Individual who consumes the entire contents of such a bowl in a quick or greedy fashion.
Dishwasher:
Extraordinarily convenient kitchen appliance that uses very powerful water jets and high-voltage heating elements to wash, rise, and dry dish ware and cooking utensils. Unfortunately, most dishwashers tend to pulverize delicate china and stem ware, and they are not recommended for earthenware, expensive flatware, and some ceramics. Dishwashers vary, of course, but generally they operate using the following basic cleaning cycles: Flood; Soap and Pelt; Wallop; Hammer/Drench; Flush and Pummel; Resoap/Gush/Shred; Joggle and Slosh; Pound and Churn; Rattle/Swish/Thrash/Rinse; and Dry and Weld.
Drawer:
A mess with a knob at the end.
Dress:
1. To prepare animals such as poultry, game, or fish for cooking by cleaning, skinning, trimming, plucking, or drawing.
2. To prepare a human for formal dinner by bathing, shaving, combing, girdling, trussing, exhorting, or threatening.
Egg:
Indispensable cooking ingredient and widely eaten food in its own right, particularly as a breakfast dish and in omelets. Also, in ancient Gallic folk beliefs, one of the six basic elements in the universe, along with butter, flour, cream, wine and rude waiters.
Eggnog:
Traditional Christmas Eve drink made with egg yolks, cream, sugar, nutmeg, and rum or brandy.
Eggnoggin:
Traditional Christmas morning malaise.
Eggplant:
Large purple vegetable used in a number of classic dishes, including ratatouille, moussaka, and the celebrated Turkish dish Imam Bayuldi ("The Imam Fainted"). Because eggplant discolors easily and can become bitter, oily, or mushy if improperly cooked, it is also the key ingredient in the less well-known Middle Eastern recipes Imam Krabbiay ("The Imam Grew Petulant"), Imam Barfoosh ("The Imam Threw Up"), and Imam Scimitari ("The Imam Cut Off the Head of the Cook").
Electric Appliances:
Although some cooks still prefer to do basic tasks by hand, the last two decades have witnessed the introduction of dozens of very welcome electrically powered labor-saving devices that can now be found in millions of kitchens. Of course, there have been a few failures, including: the electric toothpick with gum-o-matic action (1959); the electric paper towel dispenser (1961); the motorized gravy boat (1964); the electrically warmed napkin with decorator cord (1966); the electric serving spoon (1967); and the Green Machine wash 'n' dry salad centrifuge (1969), slightly redesigned and reissued as the Pic 'n' Span portable picnic dishwasher (1971).
