The document defines common baking terms including stir, cream, blend, beat, whip, and knead. Stir means to mix ingredients with a spoon by rotating it around a bowl. Cream involves rubbing shortening against the side of a bowl until smooth. Blend means mixing ingredients until they are indistinguishable. Beat makes a mixture smooth and light by lifting it repeatedly. Whip rapidly beats a mixture with a whisk. Knead manipulates dough through pressing, folding, and stretching motions.
