cook off
Kitchen skills showdown
Cook off has two distinct meanings.
In military and firearms contexts, ammunition or explosives cook off when they detonate from heat exposure rather than intentional firing: The rounds started cooking off in the burning vehicle.
Separately, a cook-off is a cooking competition where participants prepare dishes for judging: The annual chili cook-off draws dozens of contestants.
