Core Keeper: How to cook food

Players in Core Keeper are tasked with exploring the subterranean while keeping their health and food bars topped up. While farming is necessary in Core Keeper to guarantee that players have food at all times, explorers can cook the food to gain additional bonuses.

A cooking pot is made using two wood and six copper at the Basic Workbench in Core Keeper. Cooking is as simple as placing two ingredients into the pot once the cooking pot has been created and set. Cooking in Core Keeper is a fun experience because players don't have to worry about what they put in the pot.

Make sure both products are edible, then wait to see what happens. New culinary dishes will become accessible as players experiment with various ingredients. Various recipes provide various boosts ranging from increased movement speed to increased maximum health. Players will likely benefit from farming and preparing specific foods based on the intended boosts after a few recipes are learned.

Cooking in Core Keeper comes from trial and error: larva meat may be transformed into a gourmet steak supper, while luminous flowers can let players light in the dark, making mining and exploring simpler. While farming is an important element of cooking, so is experimentation: don't be scared to put some monster parts into the pot and see what happens!
