Use Ponder to Compare Blocks

The three main cooking vessels work differently. Rather than guessing, use Ponder animations to see each one in action:

1. Open Creative inventory

2. Find the Pot and view its Ponder scene

3. Note what it accepts and produces

4. Repeat for Stockpot

5. Repeat for Steamer

Key Differences Shown in Animations

Each Ponder scene demonstrates:

  • Input requirements – what ingredients or items each vessel needs
  • Cooking behavior – how heat or time affects the contents
  • Output types – what finished dishes or intermediate products result
  • Capacity – how much the block can hold

Apply What You Learn

After watching all three animations, you'll understand which vessel to use for your recipe. The visual format makes these distinctions clear without memorizing text descriptions. If you forget, simply pull up the Ponder scene again.
