A cooking check is a request for validation or confirmation that someone is genuinely in a state of peak performance — that they're really, actually cooking right now and not just talking about it. Borrowed from the 'check' suffix used in social media to call out or confirm a trait (e.g., 'vibe check'), a cooking check demands proof of the heat. Drop the cooking check when someone claims they're onto something big and you need to see the receipts before you believe it. Can be used earnestly or as light-hearted skepticism.
