Can you cook more than one meal at a time?

[Poltergeist]

I am always having to return to my place to cook. Is there any good way to stay well fed, or to make multiple meals at once? Thank you!

[Mr. Bufferlow]

I have made multiple recipes at once as gifts for NPCs, so seems reasonable you could.

Not sure if they stack if you do multiples of the same meal.

I haven't found anywhere to make multiple of a meal, but I can click through pretty quick with "Cook" then "Auto Fill", "Cook", "Click screen", Autofill, Cook... ETc...

yeah i wish we could do them in batch. the click spam to rush through cooking dozens of items is tedious.

hopefully they will figure out a way to permit that in the future.

Berry Salad. (Blueberry, Raspberry, gooseberry.) Pretty easy to stay stocked up on without much effort. Just make a ton of them and should give you almost full gold bar at max level from 2 of them.

Personally I'm not worried about the stamina meter. The amount of food for that is trivial. But sometimes I want to make dozens of stuff either to save or sell.

Selling food is viable way to make money, so improving this would bring it in line with many other games you can cook or craft in.

Foods do stack, as long as they are made with the same ingredients I believe.

The question is if we can make multiple at once. Like is it possible to put 4 cherries in the pot and let's say I have 24 Cherries total, can I make 8 fruit bowls? No. I can make one fruit bowl at a time, then add 4 cherries in again to get the same item.

You're correct that if I make 6 fruit salads using only 4 cherries every time it'll stack as 6 fruit bowls in my inventory, though.

If you don't want to keep going home or to Remy's to cook, have a second stove in your inventory. You can just go into furniture mode, pop that stove anywhere outside, make your food, then put the stove away again. You'll still have access to ingredients in your chests. Same with the crafting table.

Literally was going to post this, but you were two hours ahead of me haha. In addition, I purchased a light wood vintage chest from scrooge at some point, and I can use it to access my house inventory from anywhere! So I keep that chest, a stove and a crafting table in my furniture inventory all the time.

I've been thinking this too, until yesterday when I noticed by putting Remy's default 4 shop ingredients together you can get a profitable meal. I guess no batch cooking just means they haven't figured out a way to prevent players from spamming cooking into infinite incomes.

There is already a google sheet available (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J6PY7KYoJB9jW2z7MEdz59I6HHXryfWBUQ108Jw1vPU ) that lists all available recipies which you can sort by various forms of profit. While Souffle is quite profitable, there are better alternatives like i.e. Ratatouille if you use planted crops. But as planting conola and pumpkins and directly sellting those to Goofy directly is already way to much profitable, I reduced my gameplay to literally that. I just got so annoyed after each crafted food. The devs really need to change that and allow us to cook mulitple items at once and I don't care whether that whole process then takes 10 minutes or so. I don't want to hear the jingle after each food anymore and don't want to click the same two buttons after each food.

I load up on berry salads: Gooseberries, Raspberries, and Blueberries.

Not easily accessible depending on what stage you are at though.

As for cooking multiple meals in one button press, not yet. They might let us do this eventually. But right now you have to click the button each time you want a meal. If you want to make the same meal more quickly:

It would be rather handy to be able to do so. You can choose to craft multiple of the same item at once. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to add in the ability to change the number of items you are cooking the same way.

Edit: Finally got to that point where you have to make 40 tomato based meals and similar scenarios. I now see the point of OP's question. I just muscled through it using the auto fill feature.
