To stir is to mix one or more foods with a spoon or whisk. It can be done with a circular or a figure-eight motion or a combination of the two. Stirring performs several functions: blending ingredients; making mixtures smooth; ensuring even heating; preventing food from sticking and burning during cooking; and preventing lumps from forming when making a thickened sauce. Recipe directions may call for constant stirring, frequent stirring (every minute or two) or occasional stirring (every few minutes).
