Cooking stations are a constructible settlement object and crafting station in Fallout 4. They are found throughout the Commonwealth and are used to cook food from a variety of ingredients.

Characteristics[]

Cooking stations are workstations consisting of a cooking pot suspended over a campfire by cinder blocks, a modified pre-War stove, and a rotisserie spit. They facilitate the cooking of various food, drink, and aid items from ingredients found in the wastes or grown in settlements. Unlike campfires in Fallout: New Vegas and electric hot plates in Dead Money and Old World Blues, cooking stations in Fallout 4 remove radiation from crafted foods and beverages. Also unlike the latter, recipes from cooking stations in Fallout 4 have no survival skill requirement.

Any cooking station built in a player character owned settlement will share its contents with the location's workshop and crafting stations. When removed from the settlement, its contents will remain accessible from the settlement's shared inventory.

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Occasionally, the cooking spit may turn itself, as though it is in use by a settler or the Sole Survivor. Crafting at the station while this occurs will show the Sole Survivor animation out of sync with the cooking spit animation.[verified]
