[Enhancement] Additional Cooking Vessels
Flabort opened this issue Β· 2 comments
I would like there to be more than just a Wok for the modded items and the BBQ pit for vanilla meats. Yes, a stir fry is delish, and you can cook a number of things in a wok or a small frypan IRL, but as anyone knows, there are many other ways of cooking. I have a couple of suggestions as to how:
-
Stock/Soup Pot: This pot would be used to make soups, broths, stews, stocks, chowders, etc. You could start with a liquid base, often water, and add either just meats/bones to make a stock out of the liquid, or add various ingredients; if you make a stock, you can use it for cooking a "real" dish. Soups, I find, take longer to make in real life than stuff you fry on a pan, unless it's from an instant mix or a can.
-
Stone oven: Whether making pizza, baking cake, roasting potatoes, or preparing lasagna, ovens are vital in IRL cooking. You can make all sorts of things in an oven: Quiche, fries, chicken wings, stuffed turkey, jalapeno poppers, calzone, scalloped potato, etc. It has the downside of not being able to mix your ingredients after you start cooking them, and seeing if something's cooking all the way through is a bit harder if you bake it.
And honestly, I can't think of anything else. Well, deep fryers, but you could use the pot filled with oil to deep fry stuff. And I guess blast chillers for some fancy deserts, but I don't know of home chefs using those. Basically, any way I can think of to cook can either be approximated in a shallow pan (the wok), the deep dish (the pot), or in an oven.
Anyways, there could be downsides or upsides to cooking in the different ways, but I think as a future goal, this would be neat.
There has been #9 but oh wellβ¦
