The crock is a craftable block used to preserve cooked meals made in the cooking pot .

Obtaining

Crocks must be crafted by players using clay forming , using any kind of clay . Once formed, the raw crock must be fired in a pit kiln or beehive kiln before use.

Requires 2 Clay to form 1 Crock, or 14 Clay to form 4 Crocks.

Usage

One crock holds up to 4 meal servings or 4 servings of 4 pickled vegetables each. To store meals in a crock, use the crock on a cooking pot containing at least one finished meal, or a barrel containing at least 4 pickled vegetables. A crock can also be filled by picking up the item in your inventory and using it on a cooking pot. Once filled, the label on the crock will update to reflect its contents. Like cooking pots, crocks cannot be eaten out of directly. To get food out of a crock, use an empty bowl on the filled crock, or fill it directly from a crock in your inventory. Crocks containing the same recipe may be combined in the same ways.

Meals stored in crocks have a 0.85x rot speed multiplier, compared to a cooking pot or bowl's 1x. A crock can be sealed by placing it in the crafting grid along with a piece of fat or beeswax to provide a 0.1x perish speed multiplier, or 0.25x for pickled vegetables or any other non-meal contents. Once the seal is broken by taking a meal out, the rot speed will return to normal. Sealing crocks with fresh meals helps ensure that they will keep for long enough to be consumed after unsealing.

Crocks can be placed on the ground or on a shelf. Each ground block can hold up to four crocks, while each shelf can hold up to eight crocks (four each on the upper and lower levels). Crocks also benefit from cellars , which can slow down the rate of spoilage even further.

Cleaning a crock

A cooking pot being emptied of rotten food. This process works for crocks.

If the food stored in a crock turns into rot , it must be emptied before re-use by dropping it into water and waiting until the rot is washed out.
