Cooking

Cooking produces cooked food from raw food by using a furnace, smoker, campfire, or by killing certain mobs with fire. Cooked food gives more hunger points when consumed than their raw food variant. Cooked food can also be obtained via trading, and in certain loot chests in some generated structures.

Methods

Fire

The following cooked food is dropped from their respective mobs when killed while on fire:

• Cooked Cod, an item dropped by igniting cod, dolphins, polar bears, guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]} and elder guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]}
• Cooked Salmon, an item dropped by igniting salmon, polar bears, guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]} and elder guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]}
• Cooked Chicken, an item dropped by igniting chickens
• Steak, an item dropped by igniting cows and mooshrooms
• Cooked Porkchop, an item dropped by igniting pigs and hoglins
• Cooked Mutton, an item dropped by igniting sheep
• Cooked Rabbit, an item dropped by igniting rabbits
• Baked Potato, an item rarely dropped by igniting zombies and their variants

Campfire

The campfire or soul campfire has four slots on the block and does not contain an interface. Items are added to the campfire slots by pressing the use button. Up to four uncooked food items can be placed on a campfire, and they are cooked simultaneously. Cooking takes 30 seconds (600 game ticks) for each added item. The items drop from the campfire or soul campfire automatically after they finish cooking.

Campfires do not require any kind of fuel to cook. As long as the campfire is lit, it can cook an infinite amount of food.

If the campfire is extinguished while cooking food, the remaining cooking time quickly counts back up. Food items can be placed on an unlit campfire. Any items cooking on a campfire always drop when the campfire block is broken.

Furnace

Cooking with a furnace uses cooked food recipes to turn raw food into cooked food when combined with fuel. The furnace is a utility block with two functions: besides cooking, it also uses fuel to smelt materials. Each item takes 10 seconds to process.

Smoker

Smokers are used to cook food items twice as fast as a furnace, taking only 5 seconds per item instead of 10. Fuel is also used twice as fast, so the rate of cooked items per fuel item remains the same.

List of cooked food

This is a list of all cooked food items.

• Cooked Cod
• Cooked Salmon
• Cooked Chicken
• Steak
• Cooked Porkchop
• Cooked Mutton
• Cooked Rabbit

Uncooked food

Uncooked food are food items which can be cooked using a furnace, smoker, or campfire.

• Raw Cod, an item dropped by cod, dolphins, polar bears, guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]} and elder guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]}

• Raw Salmon, an item dropped by salmon, polar bears, guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]} and elder guardians‌^{[Java Edition only]}

Fuel

Fuel is required for cooking food with a furnace or smoker. Campfires do not require fuel as they will remain lit unless extinguished.

There are multiple types of fuel that can smelt a different number of items.

This is the specific table for all the fuels:

Fuel	Burning time (seconds) [note 1]	Number of operations per fuel	Number of operations per stack (64) of fuel [note 2]	Seconds per log [note 3]	Seconds per bamboo [note 4]	Amount needed to smelt a stack (64) of items	Notes

1. ↑ All times given are for fuel burned in a furnace. When burned in a blast furnace or smoker, fuel is burned twice as fast but produces the same number of items.
2. ↑ Items in red are not stackable, items in yellow only stack up to 16.
3. ↑ Calculated as the burning time in seconds divided by the number of logs used to make one fuel when all wood ingredients are made from logs. Items in red are not made entirely of wood.
4. ↑ Calculated as the burning time in seconds divided by the amount of bamboo used to make one fuel when all wood ingredient are made from bamboo. Items in red are not made entirely of bamboo.
5. ↑ Requires 9 smelting operations to obtain, so net output is 11 operations.
6. ↑ 80 seconds of fuel per log, but 10 seconds are needed to smelt the charcoal, so the net time is 70 seconds.
7. ↑ ^{a b c d e f} Wooden slabs have the same burn time as planks due to a bug; see MCPE-94368.

Cooked food recipes

All food recipes can be used in a furnace or smoker. Food can alternatively be cooked on a campfire.

Product	Ingredient	Exp	Usage
Baked Potato	Potato	0.35	Fills 5 (), while raw fills 1 ().
Dried Kelp	Kelp	0.1	Fills 1 () and can be eaten faster than other foods; while uncooked kelp is inedible. Can also be used to craft dried kelp block.
Steak	Raw Beef	0.35	Fills 8 (), while raw fills 3 ().
Cooked Porkchop	Raw Porkchop	0.35	Fills 8 (), while raw fills 3 ().
Cooked Mutton	Raw Mutton	0.35	Fills 6 (), while raw fills 2 ().
Cooked Chicken	Raw Chicken	0.35	Fills 6 (), while raw fills 2 () and has a 30% chance to give the Hunger status effect.
Cooked Rabbit	Raw Rabbit	0.35	Fills 5 (), while raw fills 3 ().
Cooked Cod	Raw Cod	0.35	Fills 5 (), while raw fills 2 ().
Cooked Salmon	Raw Salmon	0.35	Fills 6 (), while raw fills 2 ().

Trading

Some villagers sell cooked food items. Butchers directly sell cooked chicken and porkchops, whereas fishermen can cook the raw fish for a fee.

Villager		Probability		Villager wants	Player receives	Trades in stock	Villager experience	Price multiplier
		JE	BE
Butcher	Apprentice	67%	50%	Emerald	8 × Cooked Chicken	16	5	0.05
		67%	50%	Emerald	5 × Cooked Porkchop	16	5	0.05
Fisherman	Novice	50%	50%	6 × Raw Cod + Emerald	6 × Cooked Cod	16	1	0.05
	Apprentice	67%	50%	6 × Raw Salmon + Emerald	6 × Cooked Salmon	16	5	0.05
