Boiling meat in gasoline

[Beanis11]

If I were to boil some food in gasoline would it still be edible?

Try it.. Let us know how you go...

Knowing this game, anything is possible

For all we know, the only check the game does is for whether there is liquid in a container and not what type of liquid it is when boiling food

Well, you DO die if you drink it, regardless of the container it is in.
Usually i would assume it would still "act" like petrol.
However.. This is DayZ were talking about, so....
Probably turn out to be an antidote for the gas poisoning.

It all comes down to how boiling food is coded, but my guess would be that it either won't boil/cook the meat or it won't do anything

I say that because there isn't any sort of "gasoline saturated" meat in the game, so it would only make sense that a piece of meat cooked in a pot full of gasoline would be no different from regular boiled meat. It's also worth noting that meat only has a "remaining" bar showing how much meat is left and no indicator/status for hydration, so it doesn't seem like the game would track the kind of liquid it was cooked in. They have different types of meat such as raw, rotten, cooked, and smoked, but there isn't a status for them being saturated with a liquid

I very well could be wrong about the saturation statement, but as far as I can remember from the large amount of meat cooking I did one time while playing, I don't recall any sort of indicator regarding what the meat was cooked in or if it was soaked/wet/etc. or not

Any food can be "saturated with gasoline". That's what rotten food is technically. Minus the salmonella of course, in the case of meat. But boiling can't transfer gasoline poison to food. If I remember correctly the game checks whether there's water in the pot, and if there isn't the food is burned or nothing happens.

Edit. Just checked; gasoline acts as there's nothing in the pot.

Preferably not IRL...

That was the part I was unsure of since I didn't remember if I ever saw soaked/wet meat in-game, so I wasn't sure if meat even had a way to become "saturated"

It looks like my original thoughts were right though since it seems that all the game does is check if there's water in the pot for boiling meat and, if there isn't, it doesn't work. It definitely would be an interesting mechanic to be in the game, but it would also be an extremely niche/gimmick feature that would only truly be used by people who want to torture fresh spawns on the coast

Gasoline has a boiling point of between 90-370 Farenheit. It depends on the type of gasoline.

Are you asking for DayZ or real life? :D

Ok, i can answer this.
Slow cook at below 30 degrees C to reduce the chance of explosions.
Cook for about 4 hours and it will be done.
It is probably toxic and will taste bad, but it will cook.
FYI i am a chef IRL.
Hope this answers your question.

Will try! Sounds like a good recipe
