recooks
Heats food twice
Recooks is the third-person singular of recook, meaning to cook something again.
Food might be recooked because it was undercooked the first time, has cooled and needs reheating, or requires additional preparation: She recooks the rice until it's properly done.
The word is straightforward but uncommon—most people say "cook again" or use specific terms like reheat.
