Reagents used in cooking

Reagents are substances kept in containers. Examining a container shows the number of units of reagent.

This page abbreviates units to u - for example, 30 units flour is written as 30u flour.

Name How to acquire
Flour 3 Sacks of flour each containing 30u flour are stored in the kitchen cupboard. You can grind wheat stalks for flour.
Egg yolk Click a reagent container with a raw (unboiled) egg. This puts 5u egg yolk in the container.
Do not attack a bowl with an egg or you will create a custom recipe with the bowl instead of getting egg yolk.
Rice 1 sack with 30u rice is stored in the kitchen cupboard.
You can grind rice stalks for rice.
Milk Cartons of milk are stocked in the kitchen's fridge.
You can milk cows and goats (including Pete) by clicking on them with a bucket.

Obtaining raw meat

Butcher

  • Butcher an animal by attacking it with a knife while it is dead. Most critters can be butchered, and monkeys can be butchered as well.

Butchering an animal destroys its body and produces one or more slabs of meat. Some critters produce different varieties of slab, which may have their own unique recipes, but all slabs of meat can be used in a number of common recipes.

However, butchering a space carp will produce a carp fillet. Fillets are not considered slabs of meat and they are used in different recipes.

Butchering monkeys takes more time as you need to kill them first, but it produces more meat than a gibber with no upgrades.

Gibber

The gibber destroys humanoid bodies to produce meat. Use your judgement to avoid breaking the rules: gibbing dead bodies who are described as having commited suicide or their soul departed is OK; catatonic people are also fine by the rules.

The gibber is a machine which can be upgraded to produce more meat. In this case the gibber may become a better option with monkeys than butchering.

  • Get a humanoid or a monkey.
  • Remove every item carried by the organism.
  • Grab the organism.
  • Click on the gibber to insert the organism for gibbing.
  • Click on the gibber once the organism is placed inside. Some meat will be launched out of the gibber after the body is destroyed.

Other

A dead mouse is an ingredient for the rat burger, but has no other use in cooking.

Slicing and flattening ingredients

Slicing

  • You need a knife or blade of some sort.
    • A kitchen knife, scalpel or butcher's cleaver will slice accurately and produce the most slices; other blades slice inaccurately and will not produce as many slices.
  • A table or a tray is required.
  1. Put the ingredient on a table, or drop it on a tile or turf which also has a tray (don't store the ingredient in the tray). This makes it sliceable.
  2. Click on the ingredient with a blade; this will slice it.

Flattening ingredients

  • You need a rolling pin.
  1. Put the ingredient on any surface - this includes floors, space, tables and racks.
  2. Click on the ingredient with the rolling pin in your active hand; this will flatten the ingredient.

Table crafting

Most dish recipes are made using table crafting.

  1. First, place your ingredients on a table. Put them on the same table tile.
  2. Click & drag from the table (or from any ingredient on it) onto yourself to open a crafting window.
  3. The crafting window lists all recipes that can be made with the ingredients. If one of the ingredients is a liquid, you can have the liquid in any kind of container on the table.
  4. A recipe will be highlighted and near the top of the list if you can craft it. As long as you have at least the minimum amount of each needed ingredient you can craft it.

Breads and sandwiches

Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 dough
    Made from 15u flour and 10u water

Method

  1. Form a dough: Mix 15u flour with 10u water in a reagent container (e.g. drinking glass, bucket, beaker).
  2. Put dough in a microwave and switch it on. This forms a bread, also known as a loaf of plain bread.

Bread slice

Ingredients

  • 1 bread
    Made from 15u flour and 10u water

Meatbread loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 bread
  • 3 cutlets
    made from 1 slab of meat
  • 3 cheese wedges
    made from cheese wheel, which is made from 40u space milk and 5u universal enzyme (enzyme is not consumed)

Method

  1. Slice the slab of meat; if sliced accurately 3 raw cutlets are made.
  2. Put all 3 raw cutlets in a microwave and switch it on. 3 (cooked) cutlets are made.
  3. Make a cheese wheel: Mix 40u space milk with 5u universal enzyme.
  4. Get cheese wedges by slicing a cheese wheel; a cheese wheel is made by mixing 40u space milk with 5u universal enzyme.
  5. Place the bread, the 3 cutlets and 3 cheese wedges on the same tile of table.
  6. Table craft meatbread loaf.

Milk and soy products

Cheese wheel

Ingredients

  • 40u space milk
  • 5u universal enzyme

Method

  1. Mix 40u space milk with 5u universal enzyme in a reagent container (e.g. drinking glass, bucket, beaker).
  2. A cheese wheel is formed. The milk is consumed in the process but the enzyme is not and will remain in the container.

Cheese Wedge

Ingredients

  • 1 cheese wheel
    Made from 40u space milk and 5u universal enzyme
  1. Make a Cheese wheel (see the recipe above).
  2. Slice the cheese wheel. You will get 5 slices.

Tofu chunk

  • 10u soy milk
  • 5u universal enzyme

Method

  1. Mix 10u soy milk with 5u universal enzyme in a reagent container (e.g. drinking glass, bucket, beaker).
  2. A chunk of tofu is formed. The soy milk is consumed in the process but the enzyme is not and will remain in the container.

In a pinch

Empty smartfridge

There are quite a few recipes that can be made from the ingredients in the kitchen.

It is recommended you use soy milk to make cake batter, because eggs can be put to better use.

Name Ingredients
Bread 15u flour, 10u water
Meatbread 15u flour, 10u water, 1 slab of meat, 40u milk and 5u universal enzyme
Wish soup 20u water, 1 bowl (bowl is reusable after consumption)
Omelette 40u milk, 5u universal enzyme, 2 eggs

No kitchen access

As a trespasser/assistant you can't unlock the kitchen's lockers, nor can you enter the cold room. However, you can access the vending machine and you can use the smartfridge. You can still get meat from butchering animals; see if anybody, through one way or another, is making tons of corgis; if so, then you can get a lot of meat.

A box of donk pockets may be found in the kitchen; you can warm those up if nothing else is available.

I have a bowl and some water

Great! You can make Wish soup. Every time you make one, there is a chance that you make a nutritious version of the soup. Aside from a bowl, all you need is a sink or watertank and a table.
