However, it can also be used as a verb, meaning "to cook".
It's a more informal and playful way of saying "pagluto" (cooking) or "magluto" (to cook).
For example:
* "Naglalaro kami ng lutu-lutuan." (We're playing cooking.)
* "Gusto ko mag-lutu-lutuan ng adobo." (I want to cook adobo.)
So, depending on the context, "lutu-lutuan" can refer to either the act of cooking or the game of playing cooking.
