Cómo hacer melon pan gigante en casa

What does “remover” mean in Spanish?

While making the melon pan dough, the cook says “Tenemos que remover hasta que quede una masa como esta” — we have to stir until it turns into a dough like this. English speakers expect “remover” to mean “remove,” but in cooking it means to stir or mix. So in a recipe, “remover” tells you to keep mixing the ingredients, not to take anything away. (In other contexts it can mean to stir up or disturb something.)

In the clip: “Tenemos que remover hasta que quede una masa como esta.” — “We have to stir until it turns into a dough like this.” More everyday uses: - “Remueve la sopa para que no se pegue.” — “Stir the soup so it doesn’t stick.” - “Tienes que remover bien el café.” — “You have to stir the coffee well.” - “Remueve la salsa con una cuchara.” — “Stir the sauce with a spoon.” In cooking, “remover” means to stir or mix. Spanish has other ways to say “remove” — like “quitar” (to take away) or “eliminar.” So if a recipe says “remover,” reach for the spoon, not the trash.
