How to Say "cooked" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “cooked” is “hechos” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Los postres están hechos. ¡Podemos comer ya!
The desserts are done/ready. We can eat now!
Esos muebles fueron hechos a mano por mi abuelo.
Those pieces of furniture were made by hand by my grandfather.
Los cambios están hechos y aprobados.

Adjective Agreement
As an adjective, 'hechos' must agree in number and gender with the noun it describes. Since it ends in '-os', it describes plural masculine nouns (e.g., 'los platos hechos', the done dishes). The feminine plural is 'hechas'.
Irregular Participle
'Hecho' is the special form of the verb 'hacer' (to do/make) used after the main action is complete. It is totally irregular—you just have to memorize it!
Mixing Forms with Ser/Estar
Mistake: “Using 'son hechos' instead of 'están hechos' when describing a temporary state (like food being ready).”
Correction: Use 'estar' (están hechos) when describing the result or state of being made/cooked. Use 'ser' (fueron hechos) only when describing the original creator or permanent origin (The chairs *were made* by him).
