👉 The term "whetting" is often used in culinary contexts to describe a process or action that gradually intensifies or increases in intensity. It can refer to various aspects of cooking, such as the gradual release of flavors and aromas during preparation or cooking, or the act of peeling or chopping vegetables until they become tender and plump. Whetting typically occurs over a longer period than grinding or chopping, as it involves gradually increasing the heat or temperature of a food source.
