A Baker's Rack is a scripted item designed to aid characters using the cooking system. The rack serves as a storage device for pantry staples, stacking up to 100 doses and storing them weightlessly. It also can take a cookbook or recipe card and perform the recipe.

It can also hold cookbooks, recipe cards, Cooking utensils, and foraged cooking recipe ingredients as a normal container, not weightlessly.

There are two types of Baker's Racks, and buyers should ANALYZE before purchasing to ensure they buy the correct one. One type has a limit on up to 9 different items and can be PLACEd and NUDGEd. The other type does not have this item limit, however it cannot be PLACEd or NUDGEd.

Analyze

This is a Baker's Rack.  It is designed to store cooking utensils and ingredients.  Pantry staples can be stacked.
PUT items into it to store them.  Cooking pantry staples can be stacked weightlessly; other cooking-related items are stored normally.
LOOK IN the pantry to see the stored items.
TURN - To retrieve a single dose of a stored pantry staple, TURN the pantry to cycle through the items, or TURN the pantry TO the number from LOOK to select that item directly.
PLUCK - PLUCK out a single dose of the selected ingredient.
PUSH - When it's time to make a recipe, PUSH a recipe card or cookbook at the pantry to decide which recipe to make, then PUSH the pantry.  You will evaluate whether you have the correct utensil and all necessary ingredients or determine which, if any, are missing.  If the recipe requires heat, all of the items will be moved to the correct receptacle for your next step; if not, you will quickly make the recipe creation.

This item has Stay-Put qualities.  If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for 4 hours.  You may NUDGE it at a valid container to place the pantry on top of the container until you NUDGE it out of its place again.  After the duration expires, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor.  Alternately, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property or by the owner of a stall or loft in and will stay there until PLACEd or NUDGEd again.

This pantry may be altered.  It must remain some sort of container that could have cubbies and store cooking utensils, like shelving, a rack, a trunk, a cupboard, a pantry, etc.
This item cannot be lightened or deepened.

Additional Information

There are two types of Baker's Racks, and buyers should ANALYZE before purchasing to ensure they buy the correct one. One type has a limit on up to 9 different items and can be PLACEd and NUDGEd. The other type does not have this item limit, however it cannot be PLACEd or NUDGEd.

If you have a private property or a stall, you may want the version with the item limit so you can leave it there permanently. The item limitations exist because of storage reasons. If you don't have a private property or a stall and are going to be taking it with you, you may want the other version, which can't be PLACEd but doesn't have an individual item number limit.

Spice mills, Milk Pails, Butter churns, and Cheese Wheels function with the Baker's Rack. You will have to PUSH the milk pail instead of pour it, including PUSH milk pail at butter churn or PUSH milk pail at cheese wheel to add the milk to those items, because POUR requires a held item.
