Iron Cooking Station

The Iron cooking station is a heavy cooking rack used to prepare meat and fish in Valheim. It is placed above heat sources and is the upgraded version of the basic cooking station, allowing much larger and more varied food production. It can cook multiple pieces at once, but food left on it too long will burn into coal.

To function, it must be built over two campfires or a Hearth. It can cook 5 items at the same time, which makes it much more efficient than the early-game rack. Because of their size, Serpent Meat and Lox Meat can only be cooked on the Iron cooking station.

It is used to cook a wide range of raw ingredients into their prepared forms, including:

• Neck Tail → Grilled Neck Tail
• Boar Meat → Cooked Boar Meat
• Deer Meat → Cooked Deer Meat
• Bear meat → Cooked bear meat
• Raw Fish → Cooked Fish
• Wolf Meat → Cooked Wolf Meat
• Chicken Meat → Cooked Chicken Meat
• Lox meat → Cooked Lox Meat
• Serpent meat → Cooked Serpent Meat
• Hare Meat → Cooked Hare Meat
• Seeker Meat → Cooked Seeker Meat
• Bonemaw Meat → Cooked Bonemaw Meat
• Asksvin Tail → Cooked Asksvin Tail
• Volture Meat → Cooked volture meat

Cooking times vary by ingredient. Most standard meats and fish finish in about 25 seconds, while heavier or later-game meats such as Lox meat, Serpent meat, Hare meat, Seeker meat, Bonemaw meat, and Volture meat take 60 seconds.
