Illustration: In a compact home kitchen, a cook pours a thin stream of cooking oil from a small glass cruet into a tilted frying pan. The liquid gathers in a glossy pool and spreads into a smooth film as the cook rotates the pan. A bowl of beaten egg and a plate of chopped vegetables wait beside the stove.
