[[Cooking]] is a core [[gameplay]] [[mechanic]] in [[inZOI]], allowing [[Zois]] to prepare meals to satisfy [[hunger]] and potentially gain other [[effects]].

==How to Cook==

To cook, interact with a [[Refrigerator]] or [[Oven]] and select the '''Make Food''' action. This opens the cooking panel displaying available [[Recipes]].

Selecting a recipe will show its requirements:

*'''Cost:''' Each [[recipe]] costs a certain amount of [[Meow]] (in-game currency).

*'''[[Cooking Skill]] Level:''' Some recipes require a minimum [[skill]] level.

*'''Required Objects:''' Many recipes need specific [[furniture]] like [[Countertop]]s, [[Oven]]s, [[Induction Cooktop]]s, or an outdoor [[BBQ Grill]].

*'''[[Ingredients]]:''' Some recipes require specific [[ingredients]].

If any requirements are not met (missing skill level, objects, or ingredients), the recipe will appear locked in the panel.

==Ingredients==

~~You can gather~~ [[ingredients]] ~~through~~ [[Growable Plants]] or [[Fishing]]

Certain recipes require specific [[ingredients]], such as [[Tomato]]es or [[Fish Fillet]]s. Ingredients can be acquired in several ways:

*Gathering from [[Growable Plants]].

*[[Fishing]].

*Purchasing them through the [[Pocket Market]] [[app]] on the [[Smartphone]].

If ~~collecting them yourself feels like a hassle~~, ~~you can also buy what~~ you need ~~using the [[Pocket Market]] [[app]] on~~ your [[~~Smartphone~~]].

==Serving Size==

Most recipes in inZOI currently produce single-serving meals. If you want to cook for multiple Zois, you need to prepare specific group-sized dishes which become available as your [[Cooking Skill]] increases:

==Spoiled Food==

*'''Level 3:''' [[Pizza]], [[Cake]], [[Birthday Cake]]

*'''Level 5:''' [[Fried Chicken]], [[Steak]] (requires [[BBQ Grill]])

'''Note:''' Be mindful when cooking group meals. Zois may autonomously clean up the entire dish, including uneaten portions, after taking a single serving if not managed closely.

==Spoiled Food & Dangers==

~~If food is~~ left out for too long~~, it~~ will spoil. ~~Eating~~ spoiled food can ~~lead to~~ food poisoning, which may ~~result in~~ [[death]], ~~so be careful~~.

Food left out for too long will [[spoil]]. Consuming spoiled food can cause [[food poisoning]], which may potentially lead to [[death]]. Additionally, cooking carries a risk of starting [[fire]]s.

==Alternatives to Cooking==

If you don't want to cook, Zois can:

*Grab a quick bite from the [[Refrigerator]].

*Order [[food]], [[ingredients]], or [[drinks]] for delivery using the [[Pocket Market]] [[app]] on their [[Smartphone]].

==Upcoming Features==

The developers have mentioned plans to enhance the cooking system after the Early Access period, including:

*'''[[Cooking Together]]:''' A group [[social activity]].

*'''[[Cooking Careers]]:''' New [[job]] opportunities.

*'''Zoi Food Preferences:''' Zois developing [[likes]]/[[dislikes]].

*'''Ingredient [[Gardening]]:''' Expanding options to grow ingredients.

*'''Food Effects:''' Consuming certain foods may apply different [[effects]] (like [[food coma]]), planned for implementation during Early Access.
