A small pot for quicker cooking over a heat source.
Obtaining
Usage
The first pot
The kitchen starts here, with a pot of rice. It accepts recipes with one or two ingredients and supplies their cooking water. Dishes with three or more ingredients need a larger pot.
Input, work in progress and output
Restock the input slots on the left. A valid batch moves into the bright working slots in the middle, then finishes in the output slots on the right. Restocking or replacing input does not change that batch. Working items can be recovered, but cannot be inserted directly. Removing part of a batch cancels it; recover the remainder before starting another.
Slot layout and supply
Stock empty bottles in the dedicated input below the ingredients. Bottled dishes reserve their bottle below the working ingredients. Dishes without bottles hide that slot and flow straight to the output. Changing bottle supply does not change a reserved bottle.
Watching the process
Below the output arrow, the pot shows a liquid surface, bubbles and steam. The flame shows heat; bubbles and steam show cooking in progress.
Watching the process
Below the output arrow, a diagram shows a pot surface with bubbles and steam. The flame indicates heat, while the diagram shows processing. Its motion stops when processing stops.
Behavior
The vessel slot
Above the ingredients sits one more slot, for an empty bottle. Dishes that come out bottled — dashi and the like — are poured into the bottle you put here, and the pot will not start without one. Filled bottles such as soy sauce are ingredients, and go in the ingredient slots.
Which face for which
Ingredients enter through the top face, empty bottles through the sides. The dish and any spent bottles leave through the bottom.
