Really overcook (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burn

'really overcook' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for burn that I've seen before include "running water" , "Small stream in Scotland" , "Use heat < in attempt to eliminate" , "Severely overcook" , "Cremate" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.
