Method

Making meals can be very simple: Put meat / fish and potato / corn / onion / pumpkin (commonly referred to as vegetables) in a frying pan and heat it up. Voila, a meal. Do not use fish and meat at the same time, as that will only make a stew.

If there are no "vegetables" available, they can be substituted by bread. Adding salt halves the meal's decay rate.

Examine the frying pan before cooking to determine the difficulty and whether or not it will become a meal. Herbs can be added for additional difficulty. The more ingredients a meal has, the more difficult it will be to cook.

Meals made with onions are less difficult to make than meals made with potato or corn. Pumpkin and bread are cooking ingredients with an even higher difficulty.

Meals have higher base difficulty than other cooking, so beginners are recommended to use stone ovens when cooking them. If difficulty isn't an issue, any fire source can be used. Experienced cooks will sometimes use campfires or stone forges to intentionally increase the difficulty and therefore their skill gain.

The base QL of a meal is your hot food cooking skill, and at lower skill it will match this most of the time. As hot food cooking becomes higher, it also becomes harder and harder to maintain maximum quality. When it exceeds 70, the meal QL will drop and become more dependent on the ql of the items and the difficulty of making it (the easier the meal, the higher QL meal made).
