Cooking

Your Tools

Microwave

The microwave is the premier kitchen appliance, being able to cook almost any meal you can think of as long as it's supplied with the right ingredients.

The microwave's UI lists the inserted ingredients on the left and a range of cooking times (from instantaneous to 30 seconds) on the right. Each recipe requires both specific ingredients and a specific cooking time; if a recipe is invalid, the microwave will simply spit out the inserted ingredients instead of cooking them.

You can cook multiple instances of the same food in the microwave, but you'll need to increase the ingredients and cooking time accordingly (e.g, if you want double the amount of food, you'll need to double both the number of ingredients and the total cooking time).

Reagent Grinder

A chef's second-most-important tool (behind the microwave). Used for grinding wheat, juicing fruits, or any number of similar applications.

The reagent grinder has 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, while juicing an apple will turn it into apple juice.

Electric Grill

The Electric Grill is able to directly cook certain raw ingredients (such as raw meat and spaceshrooms). While less versatile than the microwave, it's great for quickly cooking lots of simple foods at once.

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.

The lowest setting can cook anything just fine, but higher settings will cook things a bit faster. Just be sure not to leave the power on, as the high power draw can drain the station's power reserves if you're not careful.

Sink

Useful for both dispensing water and disposing of liquids. Note that the sink has a limited capacity of water (replenishing over time) and can only dispose of so much liquid at once.

Meat Spike

Bipedal creatures such as monkeys and kobolds cannot be butchered on the ground like most other animals. Instead, the dead (or dying) animal must be click-and-dragged onto a meat spike. Once on the meat spike, you can use a knife to extract usable meat from them.

Freezers

Prevents meat or corpses placed inside from rotting. Great for if you want to keep some raw meat in your kitchen, or if your walk-in freezer is damaged. In an emergency, you can also use these to transport the dead bodies of crew members.

The locker variant also has an electronic lock, which only someone with chef access can lock/unlock. This gives it secondary use as a secure place to store anything you don't want stolen (or found).
