AIO: Cook means stir fry?

I washed and cut brussels sprout last night before I went to bed. I told my partner about it, so she asked me if I would "put them in the oven or cook them"? I replied that "I will put them in the oven to cook them".

This morning, she was upset because she thought I would stir-fry the brussels sprout. She said that I said I would "cook" them. She said that it's normal for people to understand that "cook" means "stir-fry". She said that maybe because I wasn't born in the US. Most people born here would know that.

Would you guys know that "cook" means "stir fry"?

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (100% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR. Stir fry is entirely different than cook... And I was born in the US. Lol.”

Notable comment: “NOR. Cook means make them hot so they aren't raw. That could mean boil, bake, fry, stirfry, broil..whatever.

Cook is not synonymous with stir-fry whether you are in the US or anywhere else. Also, when you said that you would put them in the oven to cook them...she should have known that you weren't going to stir-fry.”

Do you agree with Reddit’s consensus?

Yes

No

I don't know
