Cooking

Cooking in Sea of Thieves renders food into their highest health recovery potential; a prized commodity for The Hunter's Call.

Any Food Item can be placed on a Stove or a Campfire to cook through four gradations of doneness. Only Meat and Fish go through all gradations, any other Food item will progress straight to Burnt. Burnt bait cannot be used to catch Fish.
 * Raw - The food has still retained its color and level of nourishment.
 * Under-cooked - Characterized by pink color and white smoke. Eating will induce vomiting.
 * Cooked - Characterized by golden toasted color, white fish eyes, and a large amount of gray smoke. Eating will heal and grant additional health in reserve.
 * Burnt - Characterized by black texture and dark smoke. Eating will grant a small amount of healing.

Health Benefits
Cooked Meat will grant a Health Regeneration effect on top of the base amount of restored health. Health regeneration is an effect that kicks in 10 seconds after taking damage. The regeneneration counter resets when additional damage is taken.

Each piece of Meat can be eaten twice.

Note that Under-cooked and Raw meat make the player character sick with blurry vision and vomiting.

Animal Meat
This meat is from Pigs, Snakes, Chickens, and Sharks. Regular Fish meat also categorises under Animal Meat when it comes to health benefits.

Beast Meat
This meat is from Megalodons and the Kraken. Trophy Fish meat also categorises under Beast Meat for health benefits.

Stoves
A Stove can be found on the Mid Deck of a Galleon, or on the Bottom Deck of a Sloop and Brigantine, next to Food Barrels, for easy access to storage and supplies.

Stoves can be used immediately for any cooking. When Food is left to burn for upwards of 5 minutes, the Stoves will catch Fire, which will start spreading on the Ship. When the Fire is doused with Water, but the Food is left burning, the Fire will shortly start spreading once again.

Campfires
Campfires are found on most Islands and Outposts, for additional cooking.

Unlike Stoves, Campfires need to be built and lit before they can be used. To light a Campfire, Players will need to place Wooden Planks as tinder, and then be lit with a Lantern, a source of Fire, or with sparks from Weapons. The Wood on Campfires slowly burns out and needs to be replaced after a while. Campfires automatically go out inside Storms.

Be aware that lit Campfire will emit a pillar of black smoke reaching high in the air, which can be seen from afar. Campfires can be doused with water from Buckets.

Any Players walking over a lit Campfire will catch Fire.
