Cooking

[veles51]

I am trying to cook the classic stew again. Every time I try it turns to goop. How do I know when it is done cooking? It's going to Mari for her budding day. Is that implemented?

I think you have to wait till all ingredients have been thrown inside - they are listed in the upper right corner during the cooking process.

And yes the budding day is the only time you can gift your neighbors with food so far.

I have already learned the recipe so it automatically puts it in.

What I mean is after you have all ingredients selected and started the cooking process, in the upper right corner of the screen is displayed what is used up.
And the cooking is done when all ingredients have been listed as being in active use.

Thanks will try again.

I can't really tell when the cooking is done. It is honestly the worse I have ever seen cooking done in a game just because you can't tell when it is done. I tried what was said above and waiting for the stuff to disappear. That has me clinking too early. I try clicking when it starts to actually boil and that is hit and miss. Some times working some times not. This is the first cutesy game I have every played that got me cussing at the cooking mechanics. LOL

I've only made classic stews, carrot soup and tomato soup so far, but it seems like you just have to click when the water is boiling (bubbles coming to the surface, steam lines appear and it seems to change to a red/orange colour).

One thing I did notice is that, when experimenting, if you don't put enough ingredients in you will always get goop even though the indicator says it should make something. For me, I was trying to make tomato soup, I put in just enough tomatoes for the indicator to say tomato soup and it made goop, but when I tried again with more tomatoes it worked, so I'm guessing the fewer ingredients you use, the higher the chance of failure.

in my experience the cooking is done when the 'water' changes color/turns from clear/blue to orange/brown

I agree. Hopefully they can work on this some more.
