Cooking is mostly done by putting ingredients on a table and see what you can cook with it through crafting (click the crafting button in the bottom-middle-right of the screen). Certain types of dishes also allows you to make custom food (pies, cakes, ...) by directly adding ingredients on the dish. You will at times need the processor or microwave, a beaker, a knife and a rolling pin to prepare some raw ingredients (e.g. mix flour & water to get dough), check the cook book on the kitchen table for more info. | Cooking is mostly done by putting ingredients on a table and see what you can cook with it through crafting (click the crafting button in the bottom-middle-right of the screen).

Use the microwave to cook raw meats and raw eggs. Trying to microwave other food will make it dirty and unusable until it gets a spray of space cleaner. And if a microwave gets broken, you need to use a tool box set to repair it (the tools, don't smack it more). The processor and the blender are much more forgiving. The processor will only take things that it recognizes and the blender will blend any food item (granted, you might not get anything interesting out of it).

To serve your food, you can use the table that faces the main hallway, serve patrons in person with your food cart, or even add your superior creations to vending machines.

The knife and the rolling pin on your table are invaluable in making food. You can cut cheese very easy with the knife, slice foods like pizza and cakes, and prepare other foods (test what you can cut with it). [[Ian|Some]] animals can be butchered with the knife as well. The rolling pin, meanwhile, is used to flatten certain ingredients, such as dough. | The knife and the rolling pin on your table are invaluable in making food.

Your neighbor, hydroponics, is a necessity for you to make most recipes. Take a gander at the window early on and see if there are any botanists working, and if there aren't any inside, wait a bit for one to be sent on the arrivals shuttle or go ask the HoP for botany access so that you can grow your own plants. They will most of the time grant you access because hydroponics isn't a high-risk area. Good things to ask the botanists for to start with are wheat, tomatoes, and potatoes. These three plants are used commonly in recipes, and after you ask botany for those you can ask them for other plants when they need to be used in a recipe. | Your neighbor, hydroponics, is a necessity for you to make most recipes.

Please note that hydroponics has direct access to your smart fridge, and will often times load crop into it without saying a word. Check it from time to time to see if the hippies have left you anything. | ||
If no one is working botany and you're too lazy to stop by the HoP, the [[Garden]] has some basic produce available (most usefully, wheat) and the ability to make more seeds, assuming [[Assistant|no one]]'s ransacked it. | If no one is working botany and you're too lazy to stop by the HoP, the [[Garden]] has some basic produce available (most usefully, wheat) and the ability to make more seeds, assuming [[Assistant|no one]]'s ransacked it. | ||

You can grab monkeys and force them onto your meatspikes to slaughter them instantly. Clicking on a meatspike with a monkey will remove their skin first, then provide a slab of meat for up to five times. Monkeys can be produced by adding water to a monkey cube; monkey cubes can be produced with the biogenerator or ordered in a supply crate. | You can grab monkeys and force them onto your meatspikes to slaughter them instantly.

Examining dead bodies can tell you more about them: suicides, literally brainless bodies and bodies with their souls departed cannot be cloned, so gibbing them is usually okay. Your gibber can only accept unclothed bodies, so remove any clothing or other objects the body may have on them. | ||

'''The kitchen is a notoriously popular target for greytiding and breaking in and you're the sole defender of it.''' A basic tip to help defend the kitchen is to close your door behind you when you enter. If you leave your door open, any [[Traitor|murderer]] or [[Assistant|greytider]] can waltz in and wreck the kitchen. If people are trying to break in regardless, close the shutters over the tables or click on the table they are climbing to shove them off. If all else fails, you can always just whack the trespasser with your knife (Hopefully sharpened by the whetstone) or with a meat cleaver from the hacked kitchen vending machine.

Another defensive feature worth noting is that the Cook, while within the Kitchen, has the powers of Close Quarters Combat, same as Syndicate agents have. If you're unfamiliar with CQC, go to the dedicated CQC tab ingame and click "Remember the Basics" in order to get a little tutorial on it. Experiment with different grab combos to find the optimal manner to tenderize any stranger who steps foot in your domain. | |||

All food contains the universal ingredient called "Nutriment." It's what nourishes you and heals your injuries when you eat. Although food might not heal you as quickly as the doctor can (or from the more exotic dangers of the station), it can often heal for more over time. Blending down a bunch of donuts and burgers into a nice nutriment shake can be just the right pick-me-up after having the shit beat out of you. | All food contains the universal ingredient called "Nutriment."

Traitor Cook is pretty damned fun, especially if you get some some items to knock people out like the crossbow or the sleepy pen. You can even take syringes full of nasty [[Chemist|chemicals]] and inject it into food items.
