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.

This usually 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 so they are used in different recipes.

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 and/or non-player characters are also fine by the rules.

• 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 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

• 1 dough

  Made from 15u flour and 10u water

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

• 1 bread

1. Slice the bread; if sliced accurately 5 slices are made.

Meatbread loaf

• 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)

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. Get cheese wedges by slicing a cheese wheel; a cheese wheel is made by mixing 40u space milk with 5u universal enzyme.
4. Place the bread, the 3 cutlets and cheese wedges on the same tile of table.
5. Table craft meatbread loaf.

Meatbread slice

• 1 meatbread loaf

1. Slice the meatbread loaf; if sliced accurately 5 slices are made.

Sandwich

• 2 bread slices

  from slicing plain bread

• 1 meat steak

  made from 1 slab of meat

• 1 cheese wedge

  made from cheese wheel, cheese wheels are made from 40u space milk and 5u universal enzyme (enzyme is not consumed)

1. Get a meat steak: insert a slab of meat in the microwave and switch it on.
2. Make a cheese wheel: Mix 40u space milk with 5u universal enzyme. The milk is used up but the enzyme will remain in the container.
3. Get cheese wedges: slice the cheese wheel; if sliced accurately 5 cheese wedges are made.
4. Place the meat steak, 3 cheese wedges and 2 bread slices on a table.
