Saucepan not working?
I'm holding a saucepan, but I can't craft any food with it.

It seems empty (right clicking on it gives no option to empty it.)

I can't put water in it (holding it and right clicking on the sink does not give an option to 'fill' anything).

I can't use the crafting menu to use it. The menu says that I have access to rice/pasta, but the saucepan is red and it states I have 0/1 of those items.

Any idea what might be wrong?

I had to dismantle and rebuild my rain collector to get it to work. I suppose it could be a bug to an update (saucepan was sitting out).

I wonder if there is a way to reset it? I think I also have buckets and watering cans to that don't seem to collect rain water now that you mention it.
Do you use mods?
Yeah, I noticed my sauce pan did not look full after being out in the rain [vanilla] Things are different with the Sauce Pan. You can't sterilize rags in a sauce pan (even tho you could IRL).
It´s a bug. Was this specific Saucepan ever used to collect rainwater? So, put on the ground and filled by rain?
This happens withoud Mods and is a current, unsolved Bug (That always gets triggered for me aftrer a crash)
It renders all Containers that were filled up by rain useless

Edit: Didn´t see there that you posted that the saucepan was indeed filled by rain.
So yeah, i can confirm this happens without any mods.

Same here. I can´t cook neither pasta nor rice. Not working on pots (with or without water from rain collector). No option to add pasta/rice into the pot from the context menu of the pot. All mods disabled and still not working.

Careful: The items "breaks" if it is used AS a raincollector. Not if you use it to manually fill it FROM a Rain collector.
Transferring water manually from a valid source works. But it (might) crash, if the item titself is used as a rain collector.
Barrels/Troughs can be rebuilt, but "Items" Like pots, buckets and such are useless after this bug.

Understood, Maniac.
I didn't use the pots as rain collector, so something else is wrong with my saved game (maybe is the same bug, I don't know) that has broken pasta and rice cooking.

Btw, I can cook fish in the same pots.
