Troubleshoot Cooking Pot Problems

Pot Not Cooking

If your pot isn't cooking, verify that it's placed directly on top of an active heat source. The heat block must be touching the pot's bottom. Check that the heat source is actually lit—campfires need fuel, and stoves need to be activated. If the pot still won't cook, confirm you've added all required ingredients for your chosen recipe.

Missing or Wrong Ingredients

If cooking doesn't start after adding items, open JEI and double-check the recipe for that meal. Ensure you've added the correct items in the correct quantities. Some CobbleCuisine ingredients may have similar names—verify you're using the exact ingredient shown in JEI's recipe display.

Output Slot Blocked

If the pot stops cooking mid-process, check the output slot. If it's full or blocked, the pot cannot deposit the finished meal. Remove any items from the output slot and the cooking will resume.
