Cooked vs Well Done Food in Peak Game
Cooking in Peak helps restore more hunger, but overdoing it ruins your food. Here’s exactly how the cooked vs well done system works.
When you cook a food item once, it becomes cooked and gives you a 66% bonus to its hunger value. This is the sweet spot.
If you cook the same item again, it becomes well done, but that’s not a good thing. The bonus disappears and it just acts like raw food again.
Cook it a third time, and it turns burnt. Burnt food will poison you when eaten.
This applies to everything edible in the game. The system has no visual meter, so you’ll need to count carefully while holding E at a fire or stove.
How to Cook Food Properly
• Use any campfire or portable stove
• Hold E until the item sizzles once, then stop
• That’s the cooked stage
• Don’t keep holding E unless you want to waste it
Why Cook Food?
Cooked food restores more stamina, which keeps your green bar full longer. Overcooked food loses that bonus, and burnt food just makes things worse.
Stick to one cook per item unless you’re trying to poison yourself on purpose.
Final Blurb
Peak’s food system is simple but punishing if you don’t pay attention. Always aim for a single cook, and never guess. One extra second can turn a helpful snack into a toxic mess.
Count to one, then let go. That’s the Peak way.
TLDR
Cooking once = bonus hunger
Cooking twice = no bonus
Cooking three times = poison
Hold E only once, then stop
Works at any fire or stove
Burnt food will poison you
