Crossword Genius

Oven is only partially used for meat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venison

'meat' is the definition.
(venison is a kind of meat)

'oven is only partially' is the wordplay.
'partially' indicates a hidden word.
'VENISON' is hidden in the letters of 'oven is only'.

'used for' is the link.

(Other definitions for venison that I've seen before include "Game" , "Deer meat" , "Deer (as food)" , "Meat - in ovens (anag)" , "Flesh of deer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
