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)|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 ==

Certain recipes require specific ingredients, such as Tomatoes or Fish Fillets. Ingredients can be acquired in several ways:

* Gathering from [[Growable Plants]].

* [[Fishing]].

* Purchasing them through the [[Pocket Market]] [[app]] on the [[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)|Cooking skill]] increases:

* '''Level 3:''' [[Pizza]], [[Cake]], [[Birthday Cake]] / [[A Whole 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 ==

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 fires.

== 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 (e.g., food coma), planned for implementation during Early Access.
