Main / Skills / Cooking / Hot food cooking
Hot food cooking (HFC) is a skill used to create cooked food. The food made with this skill has a higher nutrition value than raw (uncooked) meat, foraged, or botanized food.
To raise this skill, the player should start out with a simpler dish like a stew or casserole. After having gained about 10-15 in HFC skill the player can move on to creating a meal.
To gain skill in hfc it is important to keep the difficulty of the dish within a +/- range of 10 from your current hfc skill. That means that if you have 1 hfc you should not aim to make a dish of higher difficulty than 11. Likewise if you have 34 hfc you can gain skill from food with a difficulty of 24 but also from food with a difficulty of 44. A +/- range of 5 seems to help to get the optimal skillgain.
You can adjust the difficulty of a recipe by what you cook it in also. Cooking with an oven does not change the difficulty. A campire will raise the difficulty by 5 and a forge will raise the difficulty by 10.
NB: Rumours have circulated that you will not gain any hfc skill if you leave the forge/oven/campfire. This has been proven wrong. You do not have to stand shackled to the heat source.
