    In my 35 years of life I’ve never once heard anyone not say yeah. I made a pizza when they just heated one up in the oven.

    The very act of heating it up in the oven is the cooking of the pizza. As far as I’ve been able to tell from everyone I’ve ever interacted with in my life.

    Heating things up in the oven is generally speaking, considered cooking.

    Even more egregious never heard anyone say anything other than I made x when all they did was put something in the microwave.

    Hell if I’m just boiling some hot dogs and throwing them in the bun I’m going to say I made some hot dogs. I didn’t raise the pig slaughter them stuff the sausage. But I sure the f*** cooked them. I made those hot dogs.
