Cooking pot just ruins food

[Hare Krishna]

Cooking pot is just ruining canned food, opened or unopened. I'm using the gas stove, is it normal? Am I doing something wrong? Baked beans dont need water right?

[Hare Krishna]

The pot and the food just says -200 celcius and - 75 celcius after I turn it on, running latest experimental

You shouldn't boil food in a can lol, only cook non-canned or non-packaged food, like fruits, vegetables and meat. Make sure to also add water in the pot.

Well obviously inrl I wouldn't

The can is open, the can also is labeled as raw.

Why would I add water to baked beans or canned spaghetti? Why would I even put those things in a frying pan?

More specifically what foods can go into a pot?

Which ones need water?

What state do they need to be in? Opened or unopened?

You don't need to cook the canned food nor is that possible to do, ignore that "RAW" status. Also it's not that complicated you just cannot cook this.

Are you saying cooking pots are only for raw meats?

Yes, again, you can cook pretty much all food except canned or packaged food.

You didn't bother me at all, it's all fine. :)

you can cook and re cook with animal fat too, it's more time consuming as it's rather large for the pot but if you keep the fat and you're hungry it will sustain you for a good while if you have no other option.

Also while on the subject, i only ever seem to burn raw meat when cooking ona fire. Should i wait until it is just embers, so a lower temp?

unless something has changed, temp doesnt matter. last time i cooked meat in game, there were three statuses for meat. Raw, cooked, and burned.

IF the mechanics are the same (BIG IF), then you have to keep track of the status while cooking it.

honestly though, i haven't cooked anything in a long time. i find plenty of canned food to keep me going.

Do not put the meat into the fireplace. Place it on a long stick and aim it at the fire until it gives you the option to cook it.

Use the meat at the end of a stick. Look at fire with stick in hand and use (cook) option
