Cooked meat's done for worms (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nematodes

'worms' is the definition.
(I know this)

'cooked meat's done' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'meats'+'done'='meatsdone'
'meatsdone' is an anagram of 'NEMATODES'.

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
