Confections and baking are not cooking. Everything else is cooking
/e fileting fish is cooking. Kneading dough is not cooking
A cook will not be up at 3am to start making a proofing dough to have it done hy 8am open. Thats a bakers job
/e a cook is up at 3am on cocaine with whatever waitress doesnt know better
again, a profession is being mixed with an action. Those are 2 different things.
Tell me how I can put an egg in the oven and have it come out, cooked, without it being cooked. It was a raw ingredient that was introduced to heat and is now safely edible. How is that not considered cooked just because it was an oven and not any other heat source device?
