Cooking is a skill in IdleOn you learn once you reach World 4, allowing you to cook various meals that offer several account-wide boosts.
The best IdleOn class to boost Cooking with is a Barbarian, due to several unique skills they gain.
Cooking works directly with Pet Breeding, so it's best to work on both of these skills at the same time.
How Cooking Works
In the World 4 map Outer World Town you'll find the Cooking area on the left of the map.
Here you'll find 10 Kitchens, each one you can unlock by paying a specific amount of Coins. As you unlock more Kitchens, the cost will increase.
A kitchen can cook any Meals you have unlocked and you'll be able to use these meals to upgrade various bonuses at the Kitchen Menu (found on the right).
To unlock a Meal, you need to learn the Cooking Recipe. You need to use Spices earned from Pet Breeding. In each Kitchen there is a New Recipe option where you can select different combinations of Spices.
Each combination of spices yields a % chance to unlock new meals. When you have chosen your spices, you then need to wait for your Kitchen to finish cooking the meal to see if you have successfully unlocked a new meal.
You can also upgrade each Kitchen with Spices, boosting the Kitchen Speed (how fast it cooks meals), Fire (chance to unlock meal) and Luck (increases chance to unlock new meals).
You can also AFK at the Cooking area to earn Cooking Ladles. These give +1 hour of Cooking TIme.
Cooking Recipes
Below you can find all the Cooking Recipes available in IdleOn and the stat bonus they give when upgrading at the Cooking Menu.
A meal can be upgraded up to a total of 110 times.
You can also find the best Spices to use to make the meal. There are thousands of different combinations of spices, but the ones listed below have the highest chance to unlock the meal recipe.
