The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):

cooked mode

    The normal character-input mode of a Unix
   terminal device: with interrupts enabled and with erase,
   kill and other special-character interpretations performed
   directly by the tty driver.  Opposite of raw mode.  See
   also rare mode.

   Other operating systems often have similar mode distinctions,
   and the raw/rare/cooked way of describing them has spread
   widely along with the C language and other Unix exports.
   Most generally, "cooked mode" may refer to any mode of a
   system that does extensive preprocessing before presenting
   data to a program.

cooked mode
 n.

    [Unix, by opposition from raw mode] The normal character-input mode, with
    interrupts enabled and with erase, kill and other special-character
    interpretations performed directly by the tty driver. Oppose raw mode, 
    rare mode. This term is techspeak under Unix but jargon elsewhere; other
    operating systems often have similar mode distinctions, and the raw/rare/
    cooked way of describing them has spread widely along with the C language
    and other Unix exports. Most generally, cooked mode may refer to any mode
    of a system that does extensive preprocessing before presenting data to a
    program.
