Notes

see: malinew

1. Tender-crisp: Describes a texture that's cooked through but still retains some firmness.
2. Firm-tender: Suggests a texture that's cooked enough to be tender but still has some bite.

These terms convey a sense of cooked vegetables or root crops being pleasingly firm, rather than mushy or overcooked.
