Cooking Food
corroborated
Short answer
Cook risky animal products before eating and remove food from heat when it reaches the intended state.
Also: cook meat · roast · boil · bake · fry
What to do
Choose stick, fireplace slots, cookware or stove. Prepare the food and heat source. Cook to the intended safe state. Remove it before burning. Eat with clean hands.
How it works
Cooking can make animal products safer and changes nutritional/storage properties. Exact cook times and nutrition multipliers should live in versioned data, not this guide.
