Uncooked Pest Goulash

Uncooked Pest Goulash is an item representing a stew prepared from Pest that has not yet been heated. It appears as a pot of raw stew that requires placement on a Stove or stovetop to complete cooking. The item serves as an intermediate food object rather than a finished consumable; visually and in description it is explicitly a Pest-based goulash awaiting heat.

The goulash is produced through a simple cooking process: add water to a pot, place that pot on a Stove, and combine the required ingredients to form the uncooked stew. In-game descriptions consistently identify the mixture as a Pest stew that needs only stovetop heat to become the finished dish.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Preparation: The core procedural requirement is a pot with water positioned on a Stove. Once the pot is on the Stove, add the ingredients that constitute the recipe; the result is the uncooked Pest Goulash in the pot.
• Cooking: The item must be heated on a Stove to complete the cooking process and yield the cooked variant. Until heated, it remains the uncooked Pest Goulash and cannot be consumed for final food effects.
• Role: The uncooked form functions as a transitional crafting object linking raw components (including Pest) and the finished edible. It is not itself the final consumable and will not apply cooked-item bonuses or effects until the cooking step is performed.
• Visual/description cues: Descriptions across localizations emphasize that the stew is ready to be placed on the fire or stovetop; use those cues to identify when a pot contains the uncooked goulash and is awaiting heat.
• Placement: Ensure the pot is correctly positioned on a functioning Stove or cooking surface; simply having a pot with water is insufficient if it is not on the heating appliance.

Do not attempt to consume the uncooked goulash directly if you expect the benefits of cooked food—complete the cooking step by applying heat on the Stove to obtain the prepared Pest Goulash.
