What makes something "minced?" And what are the values for each type of prepared meal? Schm0 07:34, 18 November 2007 (EST)

"Minced" is simply a description of food items that get added to a meal. If a cook grabs a plump helmet and a turtle, the resulting meal would be described as having "minced plump helmet" and "minced turtle", or "finely minced" etc. based on the skill of the cook. Rpb 12:48, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Best way to boost skill?

Given that lavish meals will usually clutter the kitchen due to number of ingredients, what's the best way to boost a cook's skill? Repeatedly make easy or lavish meals? In fact, do the various levels of meal give different XP? Runspotrun 01:37, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Never mind! Answered in Cook. Runspotrun 01:38, 20 November 2007 (EST)

"job item lost or destroyed"

My repeated "cook fine meal" or "cook easy meal" tasks keep getting halted when the cook loses or destroys the food he is trying to cook. Is this a result of some flaw in my fortress? Shoez 03:09, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

That's due to people eating or drinking the things he tasks for cooking before he can cook them. I suggest putting cook tasks through the manager menu to deal with it. VengefulDonut 10:04, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
