Cooking Bugs in a Fryer

Setting Up the Fryer

While raw insects provide emergency nutrition, cooking them significantly increases their food value and makes them much more filling.

1. Craft a Fryer block and place it down in your shelter. You can consult Just Enough Items (JEI) to verify the exact crafting layout.

2. Prepare a supply of Vegetable Oil to use as the cooking medium.

3. Gather insects gathered from digging dirt, sand, logs, or breaking down termite mounds.

Frying Bugs with Vegetable Oil

Cooking requires both fuel and food items placed inside the machine's interface:

1. Right-click the Fryer block to open its interface.

2. Insert your Vegetable Oil into the fryer interface to supply it with cooking oil.

3. Place your raw bugs into the appropriate input slot.

4.

5. Take the finished cooked bugs out of the output slot.

Eating cooked bugs provides a significantly higher hunger restoration value compared to consuming them raw.
