This guide teaches you how to cook in Anvil Empires. Cooking is the process of preparing ingredients, combining them, and heating them to create Food.

Basics

Cooking in Anvil Empires is straightforward. First, build the cooking Structure you want from the build menu. Then, press the E key to interact with it and open its menu. Place your ingredients in the available slots and add fuel. If the ingredients match a recipe, the station will start cooking the Food.

All primary cooking stations also require fuel to run, with each fuel type having its own burn duration.

Item Duration
Branches IconResourceBranches.png 1 Minute
Fibre IconFibre.png 1 Minute
Wood Planks Planks.png 3 Minutes

Food Quality, Stacking, and Burning

Once cooked, food is placed in the output slot at the highest quality level (3). Leaving cooked food in the station for too long will lower its quality. Cooked food cannot be stacked in the output slot, so leaving it unattended may burn it. The station will emit black smoke when food has finished cooking and is starting to degrade. If not removed within 10-15 minutes (depending on the station), the food will be destroyed and turn into Wood Ash IconWoodash.png.

Food Order

Foods have a specific cooking order priority, for an example Bloodberry Field Bar IconBerryRation.png will cook before Common Meat IconResourceMeatSmall.png in the Firepit IconFirepit.png even if the Common Meat IconResourceMeatSmall.png is in a higher slot.

Note: Due to this system you can reset the cooking timer by dropping something into the station if it has a higher priority. i.e Putting berries into a firepit cooking meats will reset the timer, wasting any cooking time.

Additional Structures

There are also some additional cooking structures that improve your cooking area, and aid your ability to cook.
