No, cooking does not destroy or disable prions. If you were able to cook a meat that contains prions to the point where the prions were disabled, the meat would be rendered inedible.
You can use chemicals mixed with heat to destroy prions, but that's not a process you would want to subject your food to.

Do class b sterilizer kill prions?
Prions are only destroyed by:• incineration• autoclaving in 1N NaOH
Are prions worse than viruses because prions are virtually unstoppable?
All prion diseases are inevitably fatal; there are no known cures. You can inactivate them, not kill them. They are technically not alive. Think of them more like a substance, a protein to be exact.
How could bacterial endospores be used as indicator of sterilization efficiency?
Bacterial endospores can be used as indicators of sterilization efficiency because of their ability to enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods. If they are present then the sterilization is not efficient to kill them and thus the bacteria.
Does sterilization kill all microorgansims?
In principle yes, but this depends on the procedure used and the material to be sterilized.

What is the difference between pasteurization and sterilization?

Prions
Is DNA found in all prions?
No, DNA is not found in any prions. Prions are just protein - they don't contain a nucleic acid.
Do prions contain DNA or RNA?
Prions are an infectious particle made of protein. They do not contain DNA or RNA.
How do you kill germs 100 percent without using gases or soap?
bleach, boiling (sterilization), disinfectant.
What kills all microorganisms both pathogenic and nonpathogenic?
mostly other pathogens kill pathogens
