Objects when rice is cooked with salt (8)
I believe the answer is:
articles
'objects when' is the definition.
'articles' can be an answer for 'objects' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'when' bit.
'rice is cooked with salt' is the wordplay.
'is cooked with' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'rice' mixed up with 'salt' gives 'ARTICLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for articles that I've seen before include "Recitals for newspaper pieces" , "Items" , "Recitals about newspaper features" , "Recitals about particular things" , "Recitals (anag.)" .)
