Place a Cooking Kit in your garden to keep cooking now that the limited‑time Cooking Event (Aug 2–16, 2025) is over. The kit, added on August 16, 2025 (Update 1.19.0), brings the pot mechanics to your plot so you can craft food, complete achievements, sell items, feed pets, and progress friendship goals.

Unlock the Cooking Kit (requirements and fastest route)

The Cooking Kit isn’t sold at the Cosmetics Stall. You get it from Achievements in your Garden Guide, which are separate from Roblox badges.

Step 1: Open your Garden Guide from your inventory and switch to the Achievements tab. This is where progress for Kit rewards is tracked and claimed.

Step 2: Finish all Common Achievements to earn a Cooking Kit. The five tasks are: Shovel 100 Plants, Harvest 200 Carrots, Gift 1 Carrot, Sell 500 Strawberries, and Gift 5 Strawberries.

Step 3: Optional: complete Rare and Mythical Achievement sets for up to two additional Cooking Kits. These take longer but give you spares for larger builds or backups.

Set up and operate the Cooking Kit

Once unlocked, the kit works like the event pot: add crops, review the ingredient board and timer, then cook.

Step 1: Place the Cooking Kit in your garden from the Cosmetics menu (Hammer and Wrench icon or press B on PC). Position it inside your plot boundaries so it’s interactable.

Step 2: Hold a crop, walk up to the kit, and interact to add it. The left board lists ingredients; a timer appears above the pot. The attached gauge shows mutation carry‑over chance.

Step 3: Press the big green Cook button when your recipe is ready. Cook time scales with the total weight and count of crops. Expect a minimum of about five minutes per dish; you can skip for Robux if you prefer.

Step 4: Collect the finished food from the kit. Food goes to your inventory’s Food section and can be sold, used for friendship, fed to pets, or used in certain crafting recipes (for example, Corn Dogs are used to craft a Pet Pouch that adds one pet inventory slot).

Core cooking mechanics that affect results

Understanding these rules makes recipes more predictable and reduces wasted ingredients.

  • Time and size: Heavier crops and larger quantities raise the pot timer and produce larger dishes. Bigger dishes tend to yield more or better rewards when relevant.
  • Quality vs. ingredients: Using rarer crops often improves food quality (e.g., Divine or Prismatic). Sugar Apple and Bone Blossom are common “quality boosters” across many sweet or high‑tier recipes.
  • Mutations: Cooking mutated crops raises the chance the resulting food inherits that mutation (e.g., a Windstruck crop can create a Windstruck Smoothie). The kit’s gauge reflects this carry‑over chance.
  • Recipe structure: Many foods check “roles,” not just specific crops. Examples:
    • Hot Dog uses “Meat” + “Bread.” Pepper/Ember Lily/Cactus commonly act as meat; Corn is a frequent bread.
    • Sushi generally requires Bamboo plus a rice/bread element such as Corn (or Violet Corn).
    • Salad pairs a Leafy with a Vegetable (Tomato is flexible for both salad and sauce roles in other dishes).
    • Waffle and Pie use a Pastry base (Pumpkin/Sugarglaze/Coconut) plus a sweet or filling component.
  • Recipe Book: The in‑game Recipe Book records foods you’ve successfully cooked and lists ingredient categories by food. Cook a dish once to log it for easy reference later.
  • Food tiers: Results range from Very Common up to Transcendent. Some event‑era recipes shifted based on cravings; the Cooking Kit lets you cook independently of the event NPC.

Reliable starter recipes (low cost, easy unlocks)

These combinations are community‑verified and use widely available crops so you can build variety quickly. Ingredient order typically doesn’t matter unless noted.

  • Salad:
    • 2x Tomato.
    • 1x Tomato + 1x Carrot.
  • Sandwich:
    • 2x Tomato + 1x Corn.
  • Burger:
    • 1x Pepper + 1x Corn + 1x Tomato.
  • Hot Dog:
    • 1x Pepper + 1x Corn.
    • 1x Ember Lily + 1x Corn (alternative meat).
  • Cake:
    • 2x Corn + 2x Strawberry.
    • 2x Corn + 2x Watermelon.
  • Waffle:
    • 1x Coconut + 1x Pineapple.
    • 1x Strawberry + 1x Coconut.
  • Pie:
    • 1x Pumpkin + 1x Pineapple.
  • Ice Cream:
    • 1x Corn + 1x Blueberry.
    • 1x Corn + 1x Strawberry.
    • 1x Banana + 1x Coconut.
  • Donut:
    • 1x Corn + 1x Blueberry + 1x Apple.
  • Pizza:
    • 1x Strawberry + 1x Pepper + 1x Corn + 1x Tomato.
  • Sushi:
    • 4x Bamboo + 1x Corn.
    • 1x Bamboo + 2x Corn + 1x Tomato.
  • Smoothie:
    • Any single fruit (e.g., Mango or Apple). More or rarer fruit raises quality.
  • Candy Apple:
    • 1x Apple + 1x Sugarglaze.
    • 1x Sugar Apple + 1x Sugarglaze (sweeter variant).
  • Porridge:
    • 1x Corn + 4x Sugar Apple (quality‑focused; more costly).
  • Spaghetti:
    • 1x Tomato + 1x Corn (or Sugarglaze) + 1x Bell Pepper + 1x Jalapeno.
  • Corn Dog:
    • 1x Giant Pinecone + 1x Pepper + 1x Corn.

Raise quality and size (advanced, optional)

If you’re targeting higher tiers for better drops or achievements, these patterns consistently improve results.

  • Universal sweet‑type booster: 1x Sugarglaze + 1x Sugar Apple + 3x Bone Blossom elevates many sweet foods (e.g., Waffle, Ice Cream, Donut, Cake) into high tiers. Historically, some variants were craving‑sensitive; check your Recipe Book for what logs under each food.
  • Hot Dog push: 1x Corn (or 1x Violet Corn) + 4x Bone Blossom reliably produces high‑tier hot dogs.
  • Sushi push: 1x Bamboo + 1x Corn + 3x Bone Blossom is a strong route for Divine‑level sushi.
  • General size rule: Use giant or heavy fruit to lengthen cook time and increase dish size. Larger dishes tend to grant more rewards when you turn them in or use them for event objectives.

Troubleshooting the Cooking Kit (interaction or cooking issues)

If the kit won’t accept ingredients or the Cook button won’t press, use these fixes in order.

Step 1: Pick up the Cooking Kit and place it back down. This refreshes the interaction state; any ingredients already inside return to your inventory.

Step 2: Rejoin or switch to a new server. Session issues can block interactions until you reconnect.

Step 3: Clear the pot of any queued ingredients and try a simple two‑item recipe (e.g., 2x Tomato) to test the pot state.

Step 4: Move the kit fully inside your garden plot. Kits placed on edges, paths, or overlapping other items sometimes won’t register interaction prompts.

Step 5: If problems persist after an update, try placing a spare Cooking Kit (if you earned extras from higher‑tier Achievements) or wait for a hotfix.

What to do with cooked food

You have several steady uses beyond event turn‑ins. Selling food provides sheckles, food counts toward new Achievements, and some food can be fed to pets. A key progression loop is cooking Corn Dogs and crafting a Pet Pouch to add one pet inventory slot. You can also use food to build friendship with certain NPCs in current events.

Practical tips

  • Log each food at least once to populate your Recipe Book for quick reference.
  • When testing, cook small batches to avoid turning high‑value crops into soup if you miss a base requirement.
  • Use Sugar Apple for sweet dishes and Bone Blossom when you need a quality jump across many foods.
  • Prioritize large, heavy fruit when you specifically want bigger dishes and more rewards from a single cook.

Start with the quick, low‑cost recipes to fill your Recipe Book, then scale into Sugar Apple and Bone Blossom combos when you’re ready to chase high‑tier dishes.
