what is the literal translation of " „Es wird nichts so heiß gegessen, wie es gekocht wird.“ ?
is it "It will be not so hot eaten than it will be cooked?
the "gekocht wird" part, confuse me a bit..... Thank you"wird" in this case is "will be" right?

Question

what is the literal translation of " „Es wird nichts so heiß gegessen, wie es gekocht wird.“ ?
is it  "It will be not so hot eaten than it will be cooked?
the "gekocht wird" part, confuse me a bit..... Thank you"wird" in this case is "will be" right?

Answer

One additional note: nichts isn't "not" but "nothing".

I'd translate the sentence to:
"Nothing gets served(eaten) as hot as it gets cooked."

Answer

It's passive in this case.

than it gets(is) cooked.
