===Claypot Cooking===

Claypot cooking is an advanced cooking method that increases the food values of all ingredients used and provides additional benefits and convenience. Cooked meals can be kept fresh for very long times in sealed crockpots; eating meals will outright halt satiety loss for a time; and the player will never waste any food from a meal when it provides more satiety than they need. Instead, they simply leave a partially-eaten serving that can be finished at a later time.

To begin, craft at least one bowl and one claypot using the [[Clay_Forming|clay forming]] mechanic, and fire them like all ceramics in a [[Pit_Kiln|pit kiln]]. Placing the fired claypot into the firepit input slot (upper left) will open up an additional four-slot inventory above the input slot, in which ingredients can be combined into one of the five available meal types. The meal type players create is determined by which two "required" ingredients are placed into the claypot first.

* '''To cook a single serving of a meal''': place one of each required item into two separate claypot slots (this defines the meal type). For example, a porridge requires "two grain", so a player must add two individual pieces of grain in any two input slots in the claypot. Placing two grain in one input slot of the claypot ''will not'' create a porridge. Adding "optional" ingredients in the other two input slots of the claypot will increase the nutrition value and satiation of the meal depending on which items are added. When a valid meal recipe (combining correct ingredients) is placed into the input slots, a message will appear in the claypot dialog box informing players about what type of meal will be created after cooking.

* '''To cook multiple servings of a meal''': increase the number of ingredient items added to all slots equally. The claypot allows players to cook up to 6 servings of any meal at a time.  When creating multiple servings all the items in the input slots must be increased by the same amount, or the food will not cook!

* '''To fill a bowl''': A bowl holds one meal portion and may be filled from a claypot or food storage crock. To fill a bowl, place the container of cooked food onto a solid surface. With the empty bowl in the active hand use RMB on the claypot or crock. Bowls and crocks may be filled with meals while the claypot is in the firepit. Bowls of food may be carried in player inventories, stored in stationary containers, and placed on shelves. ''Bowls cannot be filled from crocks on shelves.''

===Claypot Cooking Food Values===

Pickled variants of listed ingredients can be used, but provide only their tooltip-listed food value, without gaining any bonus from claypot cooking.

Ingredients not listed in this table cannot be used in claypot meals.

Baking is an advanced cooking method that revolves around dough, the creation of which requires some setup. A [[quern]] must be available, which requires metal tools to craft. Additionally, a [[Clay Forming|clay oven]] should be set up for baking, as not all recipes can be baked in the firepit, and the results there are always subpar. Plus, a [[Wooden Bucket]], a [[Jug]] or a [[Bowl]] is needed to be filled with water. Finally, a farm is required to consistently supply useful amounts of grain, as wild crops are nonrenewable, mature extremely slowly, and reset their growth after reaching maturity.

To create dough, prepare flour by using a quern to grind grain, then mix the flour with water.  

 

Put firewood into the clay oven and light it with a torch. After the fire has burned out, the oven will remain hot enough to bake for quite a while - temperatures of above 200°C and falling until 160°C are sufficient. Up to four pieces of dough can be inserted at a time, and as much as four sets may be fully baked with the heat from a six-firewood preheating. The oven's temperature can be increased by firing it again, but it will never exceed 300°C.

 

'''Note:''' If you leave food in the oven for too long, it will burn and become charred, reducing its food value!

Instead of baking dough into bread, the dough may also be used to create pies, which behave very similar to claypot cooking. They can satisfy two food groups at once, can reach very high food values in a single item, will never cause waste from overeating, and will halt satiety loss entirely for a short time. To begin, the player must have crafted a [[Boards|table]].

# Fill the pie crust with four layers of ingredients. Multiple pieces of ingredients may be required for each individual layer, depending on the ingredient. Almost anything that can be used for claypot cooking can also be used to bake a pie, with the exception of pickled or cured foods. Additionally, cheese may be used to create a pie that provides dairy nutrition. Different ingredients of the same food group may be combined, but different food groups may not.

# Optionally, add another two dough to the pie once it is fully filled, to close it. This is not required, but the extra dough will add extra grain nutrition to the finished product.

 

Pies are baked in the clay oven, in exactly the same way as bread; however, only one pie may be baked at a time. The finished pie must be placed back down on a table, where it can be cut with a [[knife]] into four pieces.

 

'''Note:''' If you leave food in the oven for too long, it will burn and become charred, reducing its food value!

 

'''Note:''' for every 100 satiation filled by consuming a pie, an additional 30 seconds passes before the player's satiety bar starts dropping again for any reason. Consuming a large meal can result in more than five minutes of completely free healing, sprinting, heavy armor wearing, or other strenuous tasks.
