Since [[Hot-Food Cooking]] is a very versatile skill when put into practice, you will find the following information beneficial to newcomers when preparing a basic [[Casserole]] - it is not the only, definite way to make one - this provides a good start on learning how.
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]], then putinto putinto a [[Stone Oven]], [[Stone Forge]], or [[Campfire]] until 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]]. Examine [[Pottery Bowl]] as you add items to determine dish status until [[Casserole]] appears. 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 and maxed by [[Hot-Food Cooking]] skill.
