For a while it was "let him cook" which, I think, meant 'give them a chance, they seem to be on to something', but now when something goes bad people say it's "cooked". My question is, was it a mistake to let them cook? Thank you.

“let him cook” which, I think, meant ‘give them a chance

I think "let him cook" generally means "let them do whatever they're planning and make their own mistakes".

"it's cooked" means someone has made some mistakes and now it's just a mess, with no undo.
