Use the Cooking Pot
Place the pot and interact with it. Put at least one valid ingredient into each of the two input slots. Ingredient order does not change the result.
One pair produces a dish in approximately ten seconds; take it from the output slot. Raw-ingredient effects are not identical to cooked-food effects, so do not infer the meal only from the raw item panel.
Choose a meal for the trip
| Available ingredients | Useful direction |
|---|---|
| Heart Berry + mushroom | Basic exploration supplies |
| A combination including Bomb Pepper | Movement support |
| Blue Cave Guppy + Heart Berry | Temporary maximum health and dodge, once you can obtain the fish |
These are understandable uses, not a universal best-food list for every stage.
Read buffs and quality carefully
When both ingredients grant the same type of buff, the dish generally takes the stronger value rather than adding both values. Permanent maximum-health bonuses are a separate exception.
Use the same ingredient combination to make matching meals for convenient stacking. Quality and cooking skills can change the final values; the reference’s basic panel is not a guaranteed result for every character.
If cooking does not start
Check that both inputs contain valid ingredients. If the output is unexpected, check the pair and its quality. A dependable crop supply is more sustainable than relying only on mushrooms you happen to find.
The basic rules here follow the reviewed Cooking reference. Exact PC 1.3 recipe and effect values have not all been independently rechecked.
