Fried Mushroom

Fried Mushroom is a cooked food item produced from raw Mushroom in a Gas Range. Each unit of Fried Mushroom requires 1 unit of Mushroom (2400 kcal) as the ingredient. Cooking converts the raw ingredient into a prepared meal that has higher quality and yields an additional 400 kcal of food energy compared with the raw Mushroom.

Fried Mushroom functions as an intermediate recipe rather than a full meal on its own for duplicants seeking higher-quality dishes. It is used as an ingredient in further recipes prepared at a Gas Range:

• Mushroom Wrap
• Mushroom Quiche

Practical notes for use and production:

• Each Fried Mushroom consumes one Mushroom (2400 kcal) and the cooking process increases its edible energy by 400 kcal, so the resulting Fried Mushroom represents 2800 kcal of available food energy.
• Produce Fried Mushrooms at a Gas Range; they cannot be made directly in simpler cooking stations.
• Stockpile Fried Mushrooms where duplicants can access them for use in advanced recipes to efficiently convert raw Mushrooms into higher-quality meals.
• Because Fried Mushroom is primarily an intermediate, balance production to match consumption by the recipes that require it to avoid food waste or excess storage.
