Cooking Utensils

Assorted utensils for your everyday kitchen use.

Notes

Cooking Utensils are crafted at a **Kitchen** or **Campfire** using the **Cooking Utensils** recipe (requiring iron and wood) or the **Plastic Utensils** recipe (requiring plastic). They are used as a component to craft the Bakery Oven, Cast Iron Stove, and Kitchen. Because these utensils are needed to build major kitchen stations, establishing a steady supply early helps the settlement get its cooking infrastructure online faster.
