Sprayers talk about cooking a load the way cooks talk about a roast: how long it cooks, at what temperature, and whether it came out right. Cooked or fried on its own usually means overbaked, with yellowed whites and brittle film. Undercooked means the opposite, a film that fails the rub test.
Those white panels sat in there through lunch, they're cooked, look how yellow the edges are.
