How to unlock food and drink recipes in Valheim. Where to find ingredients for crafting food

 

Food and drink in Valheim are essential in survival, restoring health and stamina. There are different types of food in the game: one that can be collected, obtained by hunting or cooked. With the first two, everything is simple: in the meadows and in the forest you can find mushrooms, berries and animals and simply collect or kill. But cooking is not so simple, because there are such complex dishes as sausages or jam. In order to open their recipes, you need to make a cauldron. Alternatively, you can simply fry the meat using a cooking rack and a fire.

How to make a boiler

First you need to open the blueprint for the boiler by making tin ore ingots in the smelter . For the cauldron, you will need 10 tin (see our resource guide for how to get it), a hammer, and a fire to hang the cauldron over. Unlike the cooking counter, the cauldron cooks food instantly and you get the finished product right after you put the ingredients in it.
