Overview

Cooking is a skill in Project Zomboid that allows your character to make the most out of a food item when used as an ingredient.

Cooking

To begin cooking, you must right-click a Cooking Pot, Frying Pan, Griddle Pan or a Bowl. If you have ingredients, you will be able to add them.

  • Adding 3 of the same ingredients will remove the unhappiness reduction, and will even increase unhappiness if there's more than 3.

Cooking level

Cooking XP is easy to gain, but you should still maximize it by reading Skill Books.

Ways to gain XP:

  • Add ingredients
  • Cook raw/uncooked food
  • Slice dead animals

Benefits

Having a higher level of cooking skill provides some benefits:

  • Each cooking level reduces how much ingredients are used when crafting 1 dish, which helps with Hunger reduction.
    • Compared to a level 0 chef, a higher level one is able to make a dish more filling, even when using the same ingredients.
      • THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A SINGLE MUTTON CHOP ADDED INTO A STEW/SOUP! RESULTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS

This also allows the player to see if bleach has been added. Each additional "dose" of poison from berry, mushroom, or bleach will lower the cooking level at which the player can recognize the food as poisoned by approximately 1.
