Salami falls under the category of a cooked sausage, according to the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service. Although salami meat does not require cooking to prepare it for eating, salami can be cooked enough to warm it when you wish to add it to a hot dish or sandwich. The cooking process will not take long, just enough time to slightly brown the salami. It will also bring out the juices of an otherwise often dry meat.
