</infobox> A Cooking Skillet is a tool primarily used for melting snow, boiling water, and cooking food. They were introduced in the Part 3: Frontier Comforts update for players who purchase the Tales from the Far Territory expansion, and are used for cooking advanced food Recipes.

Overview

A cooking skillet can hold up to 1.00 liters of liquid for melting snow or boiling water. This makes it inferior in this respect to the Cooking Pot given it weighs the same. However, it does allow more recipes to be cooked compared to the pot.

A cooking skillet will degrade by 5% if its contents are burned or boiled dry. The cooking skillet will not degrade in any other circumstances. If damaged, it can be repaired in 60 minutes with 1 unit of Scrap Metal with Simple Tools, increasing the item's condition by 30%. Alternatively, a cooking skillet can be harvested in 90 minutes for 1 unit of Scrap Metal with a Hacksaw.

Locations

Skillets typically spawn in houses or buildings with kitchens, especially kitchens with wood-burning cooking stoves (e.g., in Milton House (Grey Mother's) and the Pleasant Valley Farmstead).

Examples of places that skillets are known to spawn on Interloper:

• Ash Canyon
  • Foreman's Retreat
• Blackrock
  • Staff Quarters of Blackrock Prison
• Bleak Inlet
  • Pensive Lookout
  • Underneath the Cannery Pier
• Broken Railroad
  • Hunting Lodge in the kitchen area
• Forsaken Airfield
  • Mindful Cabin
• Mountain Town
  • Milton House (Grey Mother's) and the other houses in Milton
  • Paradise Meadows Farm
• Mystery Lake
  • Camp Office
• Pleasant Valley
  • Pleasant Valley Farmstead
  • Community Hall and the houses nearby
• Sundered Pass
  • Cabin (Sundered Pass), lower level in the kitchen area
  • campsite outside Idle Hideout
  • Lotte's Rest
• Zone of Contamination
  • Idle Camp

It is not guaranteed that every region will contain a skillet. Some regions, like Coastal Highway and Desolation Point, may have no skillets in a given game.
