A Kitchen is a workshop used by a cook. The cook uses this workshop primarily to combine base ingredients (meat, plump helmets, etc.) into prepared food. It is also used to render fat into tallow.
Prepared Meals
On the Kitchen submenu of the Overall Status screen (z), you can specify which foods the kitchen is allowed to cook (and also which plants the still is allowed to brew). Blue means "cook this food"; red means "do not cook".
There are three grades of meals you can prepare at a kitchen:
- Easy (biscuit) requires two cookable items.
- Fine (stew) requires three cookable items.
- Lavish (roast) requires four cookable items.
The items to be cooked do not have to be different: for instance, a cook might combine two plump helmet spawn into a stack of two "plump helmet spawn biscuits", or four spawn into four "plump helmet spawn roasts". The amount of food produced always equals the total number of food items used.
If large stacks of food are used as the ingredients, a large stack of meals will be produced. For example, 22 "Minced cave fish roasts" could be created from "minced cave fish [5], minced turtle, minced dwarven wine [14], and minced turtle [2]".
Prepared meals do not produce any byproducts such as seeds, shells, or bones when cooked or eaten. This makes them ideal for placement in dining rooms located far away from your main population because food and refuse haulers will not have to trek long distances to retrieve the seeds or bones left after a meal, and a single enormous meal stack can feed several dwarves for a year or more.
Regardless of the type of meal you produce, a stack of prepared meals has a base value of 10 for each meal in the stack, multiplied by quality ratings as other objects are. There may be a bug in calculating the quality of a stack of meals, however.
