Get the cooking latemug. Cooking a reddit account is the act of making a fake account on reddit long before it's needed, by intermittently posting and commenting to lend credibility to the account when it's eventually put to use. Accounts can be created with the final purpose in mind already, or old or purchased accounts can be repurposed to become sock puppets.
Reasons someone might cook an account in advance include the ability to influence discussions, express controversial opinions without being immediately dismissed as a biased party (like paid or volunteer supporters who promote specific agendas, such as Israeli hasbara trolls that are paid or volunteer to astroturf support on social media to make it appear that their position is more popular than it really is), or share fabricated content that might be met with greater scrutiny if posted from a newly created account (such as individuals who cook accounts to share fake UFO videos they've made, disguising them as authentic recordings by ordinary people).
The difference between cooking an account and the expression "sockpuppet account" lies in the fact that cooking specifically involves the pre-planning of false engagement on an account over a period of time, whereas a sockpuppet account applies to any account being used for deceptive purposes.
The term "cooking" is derived from the act of preparing food over a period of time before it is ready.

"I posted that UFO video we made on the subreddit but everyone knew it was fake right away because the account was too new. So this time, I decided to try cooking reddit accounts, and spent the two months adding random comments and posts every few days. Hopefully when I post this new video they will be a lot less skeptical!"

Get the cooking reddit accountsmug. Infamous early 2010's internet user (and presumably an internet troll) mainly known for making "fake VHS openings." Warren Cook was a subject of ridicule by internet users (and aspies generally) as a way to hurt or make fun of him, like making "grounded videos" or "hate videos" out of him. Warren's face was once shown online revealing him as some sort of Hispanic child with numb-lips, but it's unsure if it actually is him or not.
Warren Cook, you are suspended from school for only 43 days. Your manners of misbehavior and overreaction are not tolerated in any standard guidelines of this school. From this point on, you won't be able to come back until you have improved.

Get the Platty cooksmug. Being the synonym for "fucked up", the slang term "cooked" means a) becoming addicted to caffeine pills like Tombocantuxin because of having to stay up late doing mountaining amounts of college assignments, b) experiencing brain rot due to having as much screen time as an "iPad kid" (the backronym for "Indonesian people addicted to devices kind of kids")
After pulling three all-nighters fueled by Tombocantuxin and binge-watching every episode of my favorite series, I'm officially cooked—my brain feels like mush and I can’t even remember my own name!
