Its basically the lingo used for replacing the old rom with a new one. This definition is from pcmag.com encyclopedia: It has to do with flash memory "flash was invented by Toshiba and named after its ability to erase a block of a data "in a flash." You'll see other references to cooks and kitchens. The cooks are the ones creating ( or cooking) the new roms, and the kitchens are the different...well...programs used to do it. Just take your time and read through these forums and you'll figure all of these things out.
