A press cake is a low-value food item pressed from an oil-producing seed or olive at a rate of 1 press cake per 5 units of oil. It is a by-product of the pressing process, consisting of the leftover solids from the base material.

Press cakes will be used in the kitchen when 'prepare meal' tasks are queued, if they are enabled in the Kitchen tab in the Status screen.
