cooking rice or grains
Formal or literary term for cooking rice or grains; rarely used in everyday conversation, where 炊飯 (すいはん) or ご飯を炊く are more common.
古い文献には「炊爨」という語が米を炊く意味で出てくる。
In old documents, the word 炊爨 appears meaning to cook rice.
Formal or literary kanji spelling; the second character 爨 is very rare and may not display correctly on all devices.
Commoner spelling using さん in place of the difficult 爨; more practical for everyday use.
Compound of 炊 (to cook) and 爨 (hearth, cooking stove). The second character is extremely rare in modern Japanese; the spelling 炊さん is a simplification.
