Cast Iron Stove

WorldObject

The perfect stove for the fledgling chef.

Notes

The Cast Iron Stove is an advanced cooking station that unlocks higher-tier recipes like Clam Chowder, Crispy Bacon, and Exotic Fruit Salad. It requires placement in a Tier 3 room with at least 24 m³ free volume, making it a mid-to-late-game kitchen upgrade. Because each additional stove in the same room contributes only 30% of the previous unit’s housing value, it’s more efficient to invest in a single stove and upgrade it with a Cooking Upgrade module than to build multiple stoves.
