: 'cooked to perfection'. I agree with Brigitte. This wasn't written by a German native speaker.

Cooking and winging it
This solution only works if this really means "frei Schnauze kochen." Hence, the low confidence level. I've never heard of "auf die Schnauze kochen." Perhaps another way of saying "mundgerecht zubereiten?"
So we need more context and German native speakers to weigh in on this one...

Note from asker:
Thank you for your response. The expression doesn't seem to be typical. The known expression is "frei Schnauze kochen," however, it isn't being used in the sense of winging it in this case. I went with "cooked to perfection." |
