We may adjust it for cooking our leg (6)

I believe the answer is:

regulo

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

'we may adjust it' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cooking our leg' is the wordplay.
'cooking' indicates an anagram (cook can mean to falsify or distort).
'our'+'leg'='ourleg'
'ourleg' anagrammed gives 'REGULO'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regulo that I've seen before include "Point on scale indicating temperature of gas oven" , "Cooker gas mark" , "Fourscore" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
