Woman: Whisk together the eggs, milk and flour.
Man: Whisk is a verb which means to beat or mix eggs, for example using a fork or a whisk. A whisk is a kitchen tool for this purpose.
Now listen to an example of this phrase:
Woman: Can you help me whisk these eggs, my arm is starting to ache.
Man: No problem, pass the bowl here.

Woman: Stir together to make a batter.
Man: Stir is a verb which means to move a liquid etc, round and round, using a spoon etc. A batter is a mixture of flour, eggs and milk, used to cover food such as fish, vegetables etc, before frying them, or to make pancakes.
For example:
Woman: Ok, now I have to stir in the milk to the eggs and flour, a little at a time, so I don’t get lumps.
Man: What are you making?
Woman: English style fish and chips. I just need to finish this batter, then cover the fish in it, then fry them.

Woman: Fry the eggs.
Man: Fry is a verb which means to cook something in hot fat or oil.
Listen to this short conversation:
Woman: Can you watch the fish while I make a salad?
Man: What do I have to do?
Woman: Let them fry, and turn them over when they are golden brown.

Woman: Drain the pasta.
Man: Drain is a verb which means to separate water from the pasta in this example, so the water disappears.
For example:
Woman: Do you think the pasta is cooked enough?
Man: Yes, definitely, turn the gas off, and I’ll drain it.
Woman: OK, here’s the colander

Woman: Now you will listen to a conversation between two people making pancakes.

Woman: Now if you are going to help me, you are going to have to follow my instructions, and I don’t want a big mess in the kitchen.
Man: Whatever you say.
Woman: First of all whisk these eggs, until they are a pale yellow colour.
Woman: Now add a little bit of flour and stir it in very slowly.
Woman: Now you can add a little more flour, then stir in the milk, just a little at a time.
Perfect, you’ve made a very good batter.
Man: What exactly are we making?
Woman: Pancakes, you’ll love them.
Man: What can I do next?
Woman: Put the frying pan on, with a little oil, and when the oil is hot, add a spoonful of the batter, and spread it out to make a large circle.
Woman: OK, now it’s golden brown on the bottom, turn it over so the other side cooks.
Man: Aah this bit is a little difficult.
Woman: No, it’s not, you’ve done a good job. The first one is nearly ready. Lift it out of the pan, and sprinkle with sugar and squeeze some orange onto it.
Man: Mmm, it’s delicious, let’s make some more straight away.
