Criticise cook (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roast

This clue is a double definition.

'criticise' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cook' is the second definition.
(I know that cook is a is a more specific form of the action of roast)

(Other definitions for roast that I've seen before include "Cooked meat; criticise" , "Cooked joint" , "One way to cook meat" , "Criticise severely" , "Traditional Sunday lunch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express, The Telegraph, The Hindu, The Irish Times and The Mirror.
