Grilling (griller)

Start: a piece of meat, fish or vegetable over or under direct heat. Medium: radiation and contact. Classical group: concentration. The centre is French cuisine. Practices and techniques, and the parent of each, are the agent's own placement. Names, dates and French terms are not checked until the term audit.

6. Mindmap

The centre is the method, as confirmed at checkpoint C. Ring 1 holds the knowledge areas it touches, ring 2 the concepts applied in each, each with the French term of the work that applies it. The pairing of each concept with a term, and so its area, is the agent's own.

7. Paradigm tree

From the paradigm through its sources, each with its theory and the concepts this method uses. Under each concept: the principles of this method that apply it, and the terms of the work. Only the concepts that grilling uses are shown, and only the sources they come from. Concepts that it uses but has no French term for: none. Each concept marked "no term yet" is a part of the system that this method does not name yet.

8. Term audit

11 terms of the work. 3 are marked "ours": no standard vocabulary names them, and most of them describe a practice in plain words. Standard vocabularies used: Escoffier's Le Guide culinaire, the Larousse gastronomique, the French CAP Cuisine reference, and the Codex Alimentarius for food safety. Each source is named from memory and not checked.
