Lol wut? Why are you gatekeeping cooking. You want to apply that to a microwaved dinner, fair enough, but using a frozen / dry / reheated ingredient as part if your meal still 100% counts as cooking.

If you are reading instructions on a packet you are just reheating food, not cooking.

I always need to double check how long the particular type of pasta I’m cooking needs to be in boiling water for. I consider this cooking because over ‘reheated’ pasta as you would say becomes mushy and tasteless.
