Get round pear used for cooking (8)
I believe the answer is:
persuade
'get' is the definition.
(I know that get is a is a kind of of persuade)
'pear used for cooking' is the wordplay.
'for cooking' indicates an anagram (letters prepared or cooked into a new form).
'pear'+'used'='pearused'
'pearused' with letters rearranged gives 'PERSUADE'.
'round' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for persuade that I've seen before include "Convince or induce, maybe coax" , "Induce or convince to do something" , "Talk round" , "Convince by argument" , "Bring round" .)
