'''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.
[[File:Spiffo_Cooking.png|thumb|Spiffo needs some help with cooking...]]
'''Cooking''' is a crafting [[skill]].


== Cooking ==
==Overview==
To begin cooking, you must right-click a [[Cooking Pot with Water]], or a [[Bowl]]. If you have ingredients, you will be able to add them.
'''Cooking''' allows your character to make the most out of [[food]] items when used as [[Recipe ingredients|ingredients]].
* Adding 3 of the same ingredients will remove the unhappiness reduction, and will even increase unhappiness if theres more than 3.

=== Benefits ===
Having a higher level of cooking skill provide 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.

* At level 7 Cooking, players are able to use an extremely small amount of rotten food as ingredients. The amount of Hunger and Nutrients you get from using rotten food will also increase as you level past 7.

==Cooking==
! Cooking skill
Cooking can be initiated from the context menu for a cooking vessel or base ingredient. If the player has at least one ingredient valid for that recipe, they will be able to add it to start cooking. Further ingredients can be added from the same menu, to a limit defined per-recipe. Food cooked this way benefits from an unhappiness reduction, increased nutrition and reduced overall food usage. Spices can be added for a boredom reduction and a stronger unhappiness reduction.
! Mutton Chop's Calories/Hunger (Rotten)
 
! 1st piece Calories
Evolved recipes crafted from a base ingredient (such as the [[Bread Slices|Bread]] in a [[Recipe ingredients#Sandwich & burger ingredients|Sandwich]]) will inherit the age of the base ingredient. This means that base ingredients that have gone stale will result in a stale food item. However, the age of any other ingredients does not have any affect on the final food (so long as they have not gone rotten), so it can be very efficient to prioritise use of stale food in recipes before they rot.
! hunger reduction
 
! % used for calories
*Adding 3 of the same ingredient will remove the unhappiness reduction, and further additions of the same ingredient will add an unhappiness increase.
! % used for hunger reduction
 
==Cooking level==
Cooking XP is easy to gain, but you should still maximize it by reading Skill Books.
*[[File:CookingSkillbook.png]] [[Skill Books#Types|Cooking Vol. 1]] (Levels 1-2)
*[[File:CookingSkillbook.png]] [[Skill Books#Types|Cooking Vol. 2]] (Levels 3-4)
*[[File:CookingSkillbook.png]] [[Skill Books#Types|Cooking Vol. 3]] (Levels 5-6)
*[[File:CookingSkillbook.png]] [[Skill Books#Types|Cooking Vol. 4]] (Levels 7-8)
*[[File:CookingSkillbook.png]] [[Skill Books#Types|Cooking Vol. 5]] (Levels 9-10)
 
Cooking experience is gained when cooking food in a [[Heat Source|heat source]], when crafting [[Cooking (crafting)#Recipes|cooking recipes]] and when adding ingredients to [[Cooking (crafting)#Evolved_recipes|evolved recipes]].
 
===Benefits===
Each level of cooking skill increases the amount of nutrition each ingredient provides and reduces the amount of ingredient that is used. At level 7 the player is able to safely use small amounts of rotten food in their recipes.

|}
|}
Each level of cooking skill also reduces the time it takes to add ingredients by a miniscule 0.05 seconds.


 
==Poisoning==
* At level 7 Cooking, players are also able to know if food is poisoned. This allows them to differentiate between edible berries or mushrooms and poisonous ones. They are also able to tell if someone else added Bleach in their food to poison them.
Evolved recipes with three or more ingredients can be poisoned with [[Bleach]]. A higher cooking level makes it easier for the player to detect poisons, and harder for the player's poisons to be detected. Food that has been detected as poisonous is marked with an icon [[File:SkullPoison.png|link=]].

Cooking is a crafting skill.

Overview

Cooking allows your character to make the most out of food items when used as ingredients.

Character Creation

Boosts to cooking skill from character creation can grant a significant boost to skill gain.

Cooking

Cooking can be initiated from the context menu for a cooking vessel or base ingredient. If the player has at least one ingredient valid for that recipe, they will be able to add it to start cooking. Further ingredients can be added from the same menu, to a limit defined per-recipe. Food cooked this way benefits from an unhappiness reduction, increased nutrition and reduced overall food usage. Spices can be added for a boredom reduction and a stronger unhappiness reduction.

Evolved recipes crafted from a base ingredient (such as the Bread in a Sandwich) will inherit the age of the base ingredient. This means that base ingredients that have gone stale will result in a stale food item. However, the age of any other ingredients does not have any affect on the final food (so long as they have not gone rotten), so it can be very efficient to prioritise use of stale food in recipes before they rot.

  • Adding 3 of the same ingredient will remove the unhappiness reduction, and further additions of the same ingredient will add an unhappiness increase.

Cooking level

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

Cooking experience is gained when cooking food in a heat source, when crafting cooking recipes and when adding ingredients to evolved recipes.

Benefits

Each level of cooking skill increases the amount of nutrition each ingredient provides and reduces the amount of ingredient that is used. At level 7 the player is able to safely use small amounts of rotten food in their recipes.

Cooking level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Amount of ingredient used[2] 100% 97% 94% 91% 88% 85% 82% 79% 76% 73% 70%
Nutrition added per ingredient[3] 100% 103% 107% 109% 111% 113% 115% 116% 117% 117% 117%[4]
Amount of rotten ingredient used Cannot use rotten food 5% 10%

Each level of cooking skill also reduces the time it takes to add ingredients by a miniscule 0.05 seconds.

Poisoning

Evolved recipes with three or more ingredients can be poisoned with Bleach. A higher cooking level makes it easier for the player to detect poisons, and harder for the player's poisons to be detected. Food that has been detected as poisonous is marked with an icon SkullPoison.png.

  1. ↑ Ingame description. Does not actually give any recipes.
  2. ↑ The base amount of an ingredient used is set per-recipe. This is a modifier to that per-recipe value.
  3. ↑ Each level increases nutrition added by 6.66%, but this is applied after the amount of the ingredient used is reduced, so the final value (displayed in the table) is much lower, and has greatly diminishing returns.
  4. ↑ The diminishing returns are so extreme that this is actually slightly lower than level 9.
