A '''Cooking Pot''' is a tool primarily used for melting snow, boiling water, and [[Cooking]] food. A cooking pot will reduce the amount of time required for food inside it to cook by '''20% ''' and will allow for the creation of broths, stews, and porridges that cannot be cooked directly by the fire.

==Overview==
A cooking pot can melt or boil up to 2.00 liters of snow or water at a time. The amount of time required to melt snow per liter does decrease a bit when using a Cooking Pot, compared to a [[Recycled Can]].

A Cooking Pot will degrade by '''5%''' if its contents are burned or boiled dry. The Cooking Pot will not degrade in any other circumstances.

A Cooking Pot can be harvested for 1 unit of [[Scrap Metal]].

It can also be repaired with [[Simple Tools]] or [[Quality Tools]] for 1 unit of Scrap Metal.

==Locations==
Cooking Pots typically spawn in houses and buildings with kitchens, especially kitchens with wood-burning cooking stoves.

Examples of places that Cooking Pots are known to spawn on Interloper:
* [[Ash Canyon]]
** [[Angler's Den]]
** cave from Ash Canyon to Timberwolf Mountain
* [[Bleak Inlet]]
** [[Fallen Lighthouse]]
** [[Pensive Lookout]]
* [[Forsaken Airfield]]
** [[Mindful Cabin]]
** [[Bunker Omega]]
* [[Hushed River Valley]]
** Large chamber of northern ice cave system, near the entrance closest to [[Mammoth Falls]]
** Potential [[snow shelter]] campsite in between [[Lonely Cave]], [[Cloudtop Falls]], and [[Stairsteps Lake]]
* [[Mountain Town]]
** [[Milton House (Grey Mother's)]] and the other houses in Milton
** [[Paradise Meadows Farm]]
* [[Mystery Lake]]
** [[Carter Hydro Dam]] in the room where the [[Memento]] is found
* [[Pleasant Valley]]
** [[Pleasant Valley Farmstead]]
** [[Community Hall]] and the houses nearby
* [[Sundered Pass]]
** [[Bolt Chopper's Haven]]
** [[Placid Notch]] on the patio
** [[Station Bunkhouse]] on the table near the potbelly stove
* [[Zone of Contamination]]
** [[Idle Camp]]

It is not guaranteed that every region will spawn a Cooking Pot. Some regions, like [[Coastal Highway]] and [[Desolation Point]], may have no Cooking Pots in a given game.
