[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / [[Cooking]] / [[Hot food cooking]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''
The highest most nutricious type of food. When eaten hot it gives more nutrition food.
== Method ==
Meals have higher base difficulty than other cooking, so beginners are recommended to use [[stone oven]]s when cooking them. If difficulty isn't an issue, any fire source can be used. Experienced cooks will sometimes use [[campfire]]s or [[stone forge]]s to intentionally increase the difficulty and therefore their skill gain.
Added difficulty:
* Oven 0
* Campfire 5
* Forge 10
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).
* Meat + Potato = 27 difficulty
* Meat + Pumpkin = 30 difficulty
* Meat + Bread = 30 difficulty

*Vegetables are [[corn]] or [[potato]] or [[onion]] or [[pumpkin]]
*Meat is [[meat]], [[fillets of meat]], [[fish]] or [[fillets of fish]] (but do not mix meat and fish as that reduces the meal to a stew)
*Filler is [[bread]], [[cheese]]
*2x means 2 different kinds of that item.
== Additional notes ==
* Meals decay very fast in inventories. You're better off storing them in a barrel
* They do take damage in your inventory even if you are logged off
