I believe the answer is:

eater

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'product of a tree that needs cooking? yes and no' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'product of a tree' is the wordplay.
'product of' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'tree'='atree'
'atree' anagrammed gives 'EATER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eater that I've seen before include "type of fruit" , "Person taking course" , "Consumer of food" , "Consumer at table" , "diner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
