We explain the cooking means transforming something with heat. When it comes to solids, it takes longer for the food to get to the point of being edible, which is a significant enough change to incur the Torah prohibition. At what point does something become holocically edible? The Gamara terms it, Ma'achal Ben Derusai, when it is barely edible, but edible enough that a criminal on the run would eat it. There is a dispute as to what that point that is. The rambam holds that something is edible enough for such a person when it is half cooked. Rashi holds that it is already edible when it is one-third cooked. On a general basis, we follow the str- we will follow the stricter opinion when there is a dispute over a Torah prohibition such as in this case. If one boils a potato, he incurs the Torah prohibition when it is already one-third of the way to being cooked, like the stricter opinion. We will learn that it is rabbinically prohibited to leave an uncooked food

Put some water. Bring it down."
2:21I'll bring it to us.
