How to cook food in Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom?
There are two ways to cook food in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – either by roasting food over a fire or cooking food in a pot.
You’ll find roasting food over a fire is more common during the early phases of the game. To do that, all you need is to hold or drop the food close to a fire, wait for some time, and your food will be ready to consume. However, using this process to cook recipes won’t suffice.
The cooking pot and Portable Pot allow you to cook all the recipes in Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom. They can be found scattered all over the world. The Portable Pot is for one-time use only and saves you time when you’re in dire need of cooking a recipe.
Speaking of recipes, we’ve listed plenty of them in the table below.
