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, cooking stations in Fallout 4 remove radiation from crafted foods and beverages.
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.
