cookable
Suitable for heating
Cookable describes food that can be prepared by cooking, or more broadly, anything suitable for the cooking process.
The term appears on packaging and in recipes to distinguish items ready for heat preparation from those meant to be eaten raw or requiring additional processing first: The cookable dough goes straight from package to oven.
