|container=[[pottery bowl]]

A dish of moderate nutrition, mainly cooked and consumed by newcomers. Usually started by mixing [[botanised Items]] with [[foraged items]]. This dish may also be prepared with [[fish]] or [[meat]], which will make it bigger. A '''casserole''' will [[decay]] at a slower rate when stored within certain types of [[container]]s containers such as [[pottery bowl]]sbowls. Sometimes also used as a commodity for bartering when made up of high QL and preferential infrequent ingredients.

Since [[hot food cooking]] is a very versatile skill when put into practice, you will find the following method is provided for the benefit of newcomers when they are preparing a basic casserole - '''it is not the only, definite way to make one'''.

To start place 2 [[botanised Items]] and 2 [[foraged items]] (excluding onions, garlic, and some nuts: some may help 'cook' a casserole yet won't be consumable once casserole is done; ie. nuts) in a [[pottery bowl]]. Examine [[pottery bowl]] as you add items to determine that it will make a casserole, it will also tell you the difficulty of the dish. Once you are ready to finalize your dish put the pottery bowl into a [[stone oven]], [[stone forge]], or [[campfire]] until the casserole is cooked. Dish is cooked when contents inside [[pottery bowl]] change to [[casserole]]. Once cooked, [[casserole]] can be examined to see what it is made of.

Please note that for dish to become a substantial [[casserole]] it must be started with 2 [[botanised Items]] and 2 [[foraged items]], or it may yield a low QL [[casserole]] or [[stew]]. Adding more items (in more or less equal proportions) to [[pottery bowl]] will help [[casserole]] QL and weight to go up to max. Keep in mind that overall QL of cooked [[casserole]] will always be determined by [[Hot food cooking]] skill.
