Cooking

There are currently 3 cooking appliances: The Campfire, the Log Burner and the Oven. The Campfire and Log Burner will only cook meats (eg rabbit, steak, etc), the Oven can cook meats and "advanced" recipes. It's here in the Oven where you can create much better foods.

Cooked Meals
There are a total of 10 advanced recipes, some of which require reared animal produce or cooked meat. Most of them require home grown vegetables.

Fried
Fried recipes require an oven (crafted at the BCU for 20 metal parts, 6 metal ingots, 30 electrical parts, 1,000 power and 150 mass) and a frying pan (crafted at the crafting bench for 4 metal ingots, 25 zinc fragments, 5 adhesive, 500 power and 100 mass). When the frying pan is equipped on the oven, they are able to cook three recipes:
 * Hash browns (1 Potato, 1 Onion) + 60 Power
 * Liver and onions (1 Liver, 2 Onion) + 80 Power
 * Steak and eggs (1 Steak, 2 Egg) + 100 Power
 * Honey Glazed Pork and Vegetables (2 Pork Chops, 2 Potato, 2 Onion, 2 Carrot) +150 Power

Boiled


Boiled recipes require a boiling pan to be equipped on the oven. Boiling pans require 6 metal ingots, 30 zinc fragments, 7 adhesive, 1,000 power and 200 mass at the crafting bench. All boiled recipes require CLEAN water from a canteen. Only the water is emptied from the canteen, leaving an empty canteen in the player's inventory. If the player is still carrying an empty canteen and cancels the recipe, the clean water will be returned to the canteen. As of the latest update, bottled water can be poured into an empty canteen. There are four boiled recipes:
 * Boiled eggs (1 Egg, 1 Water) + 60 Power
 * Mashed potato (2 Potatoes, 1 Water) + 60 Power
 * Tomato soup (2 Tomato, 2 Medicinal Herbs, 1 Water) + 50 Power
 * Chicken stew (1 Reared Chicken, 1 Potato, 1 Onion, 1 Carrot, 1 Water) + 100 Power

Baked


Baking recipes require a baking pan (crafted at the crafting bench for 6 metal ingots, 40 zinc fragments, 8 adhesive, 1,200 power and 250 mass) to cook. Baked recipes offer, by far, the greatest benefits, and a roast chicken fully replenishes all the player's hunger stats. There are currently four baked recipes:
 * Rabbit casserole (1 Cooked Reared Rabbit, 1 Potato, 1 Onion, 1 Carrot) + 100 Power
 * Fish pie (3 Cooked Salmon, 1 Mashed Potato, 1 Onion, 1 Carrot) + 150 Power
 * Roast Chicken and Vegetables (1 Whole Chicken, 2 Potato, 2 Onion, 2 Carrot) + 200 Power
 * Roast Ribs and Vegetables (1 Rack of Ribs, 2 Potato, 2 Onion, 2 Carrot) + 200 Power

Whole Chickens
In order to use chicken in these recipes you need to raise them in the Animal Housing. Once a chicken levels up to level 10 they will yield a Whole Chicken (Raw) when butchered, which can be baked in the oven (currently the highest tier cooked meal). Whole Chicken (Raw) can be split into Reared Chicken.

Water
Water in a canteen takes 45 seconds to become clean put in a source of fire.
