Bowl Of Pasta, -5 Hunger?

[Actionjackson]

So, i am new to it all... so i am noobish.

So, i tried to cook pasta in my game for the first time. I dont have electricity, so i have to make fuel for the fire, i need to fill pot and move it about, add pasta then back in and then i added olive oil, tomato paste and something else, cant remember.
And then i made the 2 bowl recipe, and i get 2 bowl with -5 each? Isnt that super low?

The time it take me to prepare all that cost me waaay more "hunger" than what i can replenish by the food i cooked? Isnt it better to just eat canned food?

I have looted a lot of different food and there are a ton of recipes, so i am quite confused by what is worth my time. In game-time, it takes hours to make food and hunger comes quite fast... ???

Basicly first check how much hunger removal the pasta has in the cooking pot. Also i am pretty sure, that most of the stuff you have said are not ingredients but spices. To make actual pasta, get a can of bolognese and some pasta. That way you should be able to make a base thirty something pasta. (Can use the can 3 times, 10+10+6? i think and pasta is 10) Once you cook it should be around 40-42 hunger removal. IF you make two bowls of this they should each be 20-21 or so.

Try adding meat. The more actual ingredients the better.

Cooking seems to be a full time job ... i stick to canned food for now, i have plenty of that stashed away.

Meat is difficult to get for me, all i had is rotten as electricity is out, and i have trapping 1 from a VHS tape and a mouse trap... i am not at all set up to get meat anytime soon.

As said, i guess i stick to canned food for now, and i will cook the 4 boxes of fresh eggs i still have before they go bad.

Cook canned food. For instance for most fish based stuff you need a frying pan, for beans a cooking pot, and so on. You can check the crafting menu via B, or you can check the recipes on wiki. Also no, cooking takes at most in game time 40-50 minutes. During that time you should read, you should do chores etc. Also if you know how fuel works you can just add enough to never get your food overcooked or burned down.

For things like pasta and rice, I just eat them raw. Have a book for dessert and the negatives are gone.

Foraging whenever you take a longer walk, if not too dangerous around. A lot of wild vegetables/mushrooms can be added into your dish.

If you cook your food, you can make 60-70+ hunger value foods. Or more, but that's already waste (imo). Cook a pot of stew / soup, split in 4 bowls, and you done with cooking for 2 days. If you have electricity, you can cook more meals at once, and keep them in the fridge. You need to cook only once per week. Grab a popsicle freezer, and a one day cooking filling your freezer with delicious meals, not cans.
