Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"
CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 6 days agoSome of the constituent ingredients have to be cooked, but ceviches and sushi rolls aren’t cooked any more than salads or burritos. They’re assembled or prepared.

You’re ignoring the chemical process in ceviche.

Yea, ceviche is cooked with acid rather than heat - you can also cook some foods with salt!

You could cook using an exothermic reaction between ingredients, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening when making ceviche, so a ceviche is not cooked.

The proteins are being chemically denatured.
