Ross

I believe the answer is:

grill

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'cook' is the first definition.
(grilling is a form of cooking)

'interrogate thus' is the second definition.
'grill' can be an answer for 'interrogate' (I've seen this in other clues). I am not sure about the 'thus' bit.

'may' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grill that I've seen before include "Screen" , "Question; cook" , "Question closely" , "Broil" , "rack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
