- Set up a Cooking Pot. Place a Cooking Pot over a heat source like a campfire, stove or magma then add up to six ingredients, depending on the recipe. Once cooking is complete you may need to put bowls into the pot to take out your meal. Pots retain their contents when broken so you can carry cooked meals with you.
