   heat in a pot for 1 to 15 rounds

Recipe name: boiled potato
Ingredient:  salt
Ingredient:  brown potato
Cooking instructions:   heat in a pot for 1 to 15 rounds

This recipe requires one dose of salt, a staple ingredient, and one brown potato, a foraged or farmed ingredient. These ingredients should be added to a cooking utensil known as a pot, and heated over a heating source for anywhere between one and 15 heat pulses.

Gather ingredients

• Many ingredients can be foraged or farmed.
• Some ingredients that cannot be foraged, known as staple ingredients, can be purchased at town grocers.
• Some recipes require ingredients that themselves are cooked. For example, the boiled potato above is needed to make mashed potatoes.
• Water is considered a given in any kitchen. No water is required for recipes for boiled potatoes, hardboiled eggs, etc.

Once you have gathered ingredients, combine them as called for in the recipe. Here, we add them to a pot.

Combing the Ingredients

• The recipe may require you to PUSH a mixing bowl to combine cold ingredients, like into pie dough.
• If your recipe calls for heating, you will need a heat source. This is either a Portable stove or a Collapsible Tripod over a campfire, bonfire, fireplace, or other similar source of heat.
• There will be a range of heating rounds given. Each round is marked by an ambient message given by the stove or a cooking utensil on the stove. Count the messages and use the activation verb (TURN a pot to mix the ingredients into their final form; OPEN a pie press or oven). Success or failure is determined when this final verb is used. You can also ANALYZE the cooking utensil during heating to see where it stands.
• Heating for a pie press or oven doesn't start until the pie press or oven is CLOSEd.
• Heating ends when the activation verb is used.
• Undercooked food (when the minimum required number of heating rounds is not met) or overcooked food (more than the maximum number of heating rounds) may have undecooked or overcooked descriptions and messages.
