A Cooking Pot is a tool primarily used for melting snow, boiling water, and Cooking food. A cooking pot will reduce the amount of time required for food inside it to cook by 20% and will allow for the creation of broths, stews, and porridges that cannot be cooked directly by the fire.
Overview[]
A cooking pot can melt or boil up to 2.00 liters of snow or water at a time. The amount of time required to melt snow per liter does decrease a bit when using a Cooking Pot, compared to a Recycled Can.
A Cooking Pot will degrade by 5% if its contents are burned or boiled dry. The Cooking Pot will not degrade in any other circumstances.
A Cooking Pot can be harvested for 1 unit of Scrap Metal.
It can also be repaired with Simple Tools or Quality Tools for 1 unit of Scrap Metal.
Cooking Pots typically spawn in houses and buildings with kitchens, especially kitchens with wood-burning cooking stoves (e.g., in Milton House (Grey Mother's) and the Pleasant Valley Farmstead).
