Curing meats requires a barrel, [[salt]] and the meat | Curing meats requires a barrel, [[salt]] and the raw meat to preserve. Each unit of meat requires two units of salt, i.e. 32 meat = 64 salt. After adding the appropriate ingredients into the input slot of the barrel, the GUI will state the process yield. At this point the barrel must be sealed for 480 hours to complete the curing process. | ||

Pickling vegetables requires a barrel, a bucket, [[salt]], water, and the vegetables | Pickling vegetables requires a barrel, a bucket, [[salt]], water, and the vegetables to preserve. Water and salt are mixed in the barrel to make [[brine]] before adding the vegetables. Otherwise, the process of pickling is very similar to salt curing. Each vegetable or legume uses one unit of brine and the barrel must remain sealed for 336 hours. | ||

While | While food can be stored in any stationary container, [[storage vessels]] are best for storing grains and vegetables. Storage vessels and crocks are fairly easy to make, requiring only [[Clay_Forming|clay]]. However to increase the shelf life of meats and vegetables, combining preserving methods with containers is best. | ||

Players can verify the storage benefit by looking at the block info HUD. It will display something like <code>Stored food perish speed: 0.25</code> - which in this case means food will last 4 times longer. | ||
