Hidden Category II
Remove a letter from each of the words below and rearrange the remaining letters to form new words. The 10 words will all fall into a certain category. For example, given the words DEAR, ANGRY, and RENEGE, you could drop the "A" in DEAR to get RED, drop the "N" in ANGRY to get GRAY, and drop an "E" in RENEGE to get GREEN. These would all fall into the category of "Colors".
If you're stuck, the hint will name the category. The tough part is getting all 10 words.

that was a gd 1
the hint really helped. gr8 teaser.
"Well Done" Bravo!
I got them all except 'braise'. I got the catagory after the first word, so perhaps you could have put them in a different order to make it slightly more difficult. I am rating this teaser highly tho - it's grrrrrrrrrrrrr8!
excellante!
i like it!!! it's challenging!

Ya! I got this one! Good teaser!
It is great. I am sure it was difficult to develop this teaser. Thank you.
Very nice.. would've been easier if I'd had a job as a cook in the past instead of a baker.
very good i love word and language puzzles...thank god there are still people in the world that like to stimulate their minds even with useless trivia
i liked it alot it was dificult thogh
i have bad speling

very nicely done...i didn't get "braise" either, since i'd never even heard of that before. oh well. i liked it!
Yay! I liked it, good job Bobbrt.
I'm so happy I was able to at least to figure this one out all by myself! Weeeeeee!
I got it! Almost! Didn't get all ten words, but had the category after the first three. Neato and peachy keen!
Interesting Good one I didn't get that many of the words because I didn't know the subject
i didnt know half the words, even after i did read the answer good one!!
good one although the first one if you dropped the C it could have been hope
lol

Difficult and challenging, yet fun and solvable. Good one.
This is a classic. A bit of thought needed at the beginning to get the connection, then most of the words come but it took me a good while to get the last one. Excellent teaser!
Aaahhh! Way too hard for me!!! (I got one though).
That sure was alot of fun trying to solve, got most, couldn't get a few!
thanks
thanks
I only got CHOP, PEEL, STIR, and DRAIN before the hint, and I still didn't know the category. Great teaser!
9/10. My patience ran out on the last word, so I just looked up the answer. But all of these were moderately difficult, yet fun. This teaser should be a classic.
Wow, this was probably the best teaser I've ever seen. Challenging, but not too difficult...and fun!
Great job!
Great job!
Great teaser, fun and challenging. Thanks for posting.
Great teaser! It was really hard, but really fun all the same. Thanks!
I got everything but braise and garnish. Ah well, I'm not that big of a cook anyway. Great teaser, I really enjoyed it!
lol, NICE!!!
Wow, that was good. Although I got 'shaping' for the last one, as in shaping cookies or marzipan. I figured I was stretching it. Thanks for the puzzle!
I also got everything except braise & garnish. And I needed the hint to get started!! Oh, well, still fun!
that was great,I got 4 or 5,great job.I loved it!!!!!!!!!!
Well done...that one worked for me

This was fun. It took a little time,.but it was easy to figure out after the first word.
The first 3 came so easily that the category was obvious right away, which made the rest fairly easy. Loved it, great teaser.
My kind of teaser I really really loved it.
I figured it out before I got on so I wouldn't see the answer because that has happened to me before. I found it pretty easy and had fun with it. I forgot to look and see who put it up but thanks for making my day abit brighter. I don't usually get these.

I'm somewhat tough to please when it comes to teasers, but this one was excellent. Even after discovering the category, the semi-anagrams were a bit tricky.
Great teaser - I loved the challenge! Thanks for posting!
Wasn't sure if the first one was going to be chop or hope, but then the next few (peel, stir, blend) were easy to get so the category had to have something to do with cooking and/or baking. I love doing both so the rest just fell into place.
Even though I found it easy, still lots of fun.

yes, well done
easy yet fun

Outstanding! Clearly a lot of work went into this. Finding a few answers and identifying the category was easy. I'd say it was a challenge to get all ten words. Very nicely done.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got 8 out of ten words. I had that the category as cooking terms. I do not cook but did not do too bad on this one.
That was gr8 fun, thanks!
Did not need the hint, but couldn't get garnish( cooking is not my thing ).
