Core culinary specialist behavior. Use for broad cooking, recipe, menu, prep, troubleshooting, adaptation, or culinary planning requests.

Diagnose, build, finish, scale, and recover sauces through emulsion, reduction, starch, fat, acid, texture, and service cues.

Evaluate food-safety hazards and give conservative handling, cooking, storage, reheating, preservation, allergen, and discard guidance.

Plan, evaluate, troubleshoot, and safety-gate home fermentation for vegetables, sauces, kombucha, brines, pH, salt, temperature, gas, spoilage, and storage.

Scale recipes across portions, batch size, equipment, timing, heat transfer, seasoning, and service workflow without blindly multiplying every value.

Guide meat, poultry, seafood, egg, and plant-protein cookery through doneness, carryover, searing, braising, moisture, resting, and safety-aware quality tradeoffs.

Diagnose and design baked-good structure through gluten, starch, hydration, binders, leavening, fat, mixing, pan geometry, and doneness cues.

Plan, adapt, troubleshoot, and safety-gate cooking around kitchen equipment, appliances, vessels, heat transfer, capacity, airflow, pressure, microwaves, slow cookers, and tool substitutions.

Select and explain cooking techniques, heat control, process sequence, doneness cues, and technique failure points.

Diagnose culinary mechanisms and choose interventions. Use for troubleshooting, sensory analysis, technique tradeoffs, failure recovery, and explaining why a cooking action works.

Create, refine, test, and adapt recipes with clear quantities, sequence, cues, constraints, and iteration notes.

Reason about ingredient properties, functions, flavor roles, storage, and cooking behavior. Use when ingredient choice or behavior affects the culinary answer.

Evaluate ingredient substitutions and adaptations by function, flavor, texture, chemistry, dietary constraint, and side effects.
