The item that has been dropped inside the fire will start to get roasted.After around 5 to 10 seconds, you will spot the item’sappearance changesa little bit, and so is its name. If youpress “A” to take it, you will have a new item with enhanced effects.

How To Cook Meals
Cooking requiresa boilingpot. You can find pots on top of the fire in different locations on the map, but there are also some Zonai Capsules that includePortable Pots, allowing you to deploy them wherever you want. However, that’s not the only thingplayers are using cooking potsfor.
To start cooking,stand next to a pot, and you will spot the UI showing an option to “Sit.” Nowpress the “Plus” buttonandhover over any nutrientthat you want to cook.Press “A” and then select “Hold"from the drop-down menu. If you may’t see a “Hold” option, it means that the item cannot be cooked. After choosing “Hold,” you will spota row with five slotson the right side of the menu. Now, if you simplypress “A” on any other nutrient, you canadd it to the empty slots. You can add the same item type five times as well. Once you are done creating your recipe,press “Y.“Now, you will spot that the option for “Sit” has been changed to “Cook.“Press “A” to start cooking. After a few seconds, you can take your new meal.
Keep in mind that you don’t need to fill in all five slots for cooking. you’re able to simply cook a single item as well. For example, cookingSpicy Pepperscreates a new meal that immunes Link against the cold for a limited time. The more peppers you include in the recipe, the longer it takes for the meal’s effect to fade away.
