How Cooking Works in Grow a Garden
Cooking in Grow a Garden is simple and exciting! Here’s the basics:
- Find the Cooking Pot: Head to the big, steamy pot in the middle of the game’s lobby. It’s got a chalkboard nearby that shows recipes and how long they take to cook.
- Toss in Ingredients: Grab one crop at a time from your inventory or hotbar and press the E key near the pot to add it. The chalkboard updates to show what you’ve added and how long it’ll take.
- Start Cooking: When you’ve added the right ingredients, hit the green Cook button under the pot. Cooking takes a few minutes (like 5 minutes 48 seconds for ice cream). You can wait or spend 95–200 Robux to skip the wait.
- Grab Your Dish: Once the timer’s done, press E near the pot to pick up your food.
- Feed Chris P. Bacon: Give your dish to Chris P., the pig near the pot. Check his speech bubble (it changes every hour) to see what he’s craving, like “Pizza would be nice.” Matching his craving gets you better rewards!
- Mess Up? No Worries: If you add the wrong ingredients, hit the red Empty button to clear the pot without losing your crops.
