Blackened items in kitchen? Domestic gets given the third degree (11)

I believe the answer is:

chargrilled

'blackened items in kitchen?' is the definition.
(as in chargrilling food)

'domestic gets given the third degree' is the wordplay.
'domestic' becomes 'char' (term for a domestic servant or cleaner).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'given the third degree' becomes 'grilled' (to give the third degree is to question someone).
'char'+'grilled'='CHARGRILLED'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
