Cooking

Your Tools

Microwave

The Microwave is the Chef's (and unlucky prisoner's) choice of heating utensil, being able to cook everything from bread to pizza and pies, as long as you select the right cook time.

It has a menu layout similar to the grinder, with ingredients in the microwave on the left, and a selection of buttons on the right. You can select from a range of cooking times, spanning from Instantaneous to 30 seconds. Each recipe requires a different time in the microwave. If the ingredients or time are wrong, the ingredients in the microwave will either be spit out or become a burnt mess. If you want to cook multiple of the same food, simply multiply the number of ingredients and the cooking time to cook all of it at once.

Reagent Grinder

The chef's second most important tool next to the microwave. Turn wheat into flour, cocoa into cocoa powder, and watch as someone vaults the kitchen counter to grind up pills they found on the floor.

After loading in a beaker and whatever you want to grind, you can choose one of two settings, Grind and Juice. Grind deconstructs items into their base chemical components, while Juice turns an item into a specific liquid.

For example, grinding an apple will break it down into vitamin and nutriment. Juicing an apple will turn it into apple juice.

Electric Grill

The Electric Grill is another method of heating up raw meat and spaceshrooms, and can heat up to 4 objects at a time. Great for if you need to cook up lots of meat at once, or if Chemistry stole your microwave. The Electric Grill has three power settings:

• Low - 33% power draw. Heats up to 905K.
• Medium - 66% power draw. Heats up to 1517K.
• High - 100% power draw. Heats up to 2129K.

Even the lowest setting can cook anything you want, but higher settings will cook things a bit faster. Just be sure not to leave the power on, or else Engineering might have something to say about it.

Meat Spike

The meat spike is your primary way of obtaining more raw meat. Bipedal creatures such as monkeys, kobolds, and people cannot be butchered like most other animals. Instead, the dead or dying animal must be click-and-dragged onto a meat spike. When they're on the meat spike, you can use a knife to extract usable meat from them.

Freezers

Prevents meat placed inside from rotting. Great for if you want to keep some raw meat in your kitchen, or if your walk-in freezer is compromised. If you're desperate, you might even want to store dead bodies in there if you don't want them to rot.

The locker variant also has an electronic lock, which only someone with chef access can lock/unlock.

Lipid Extractor

A device that does not come with your kitchen, but must be researched and constructed by Science. Fat is extracted from any creature that is put in the lipid extractor until they become hungry. When enough is extracted, the lipid extractor generates raw meat.

Got any extra vitamin, nutriment, or protein lying around from grinding up food? eat it, step into the lipid extractor, and you can turn it into raw meat. You can even shove mice, monkeys, kobolds, or whatever else into the extractor to get some extra meat.
