Eating raw meat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a bad idea—unless you enjoy food poisoning and a slow, miserable death. Cooking, smoking, or drying your meat keeps it fresh longer and makes it more nutritious. Here’s a quick guide on how to cook meat:
Where to Get Meat
Before you cook, you need something to cook. You can get meat in two ways:
Buy It – Butchers sell pork, beef, chicken, and other meats. If you prefer a legal approach, this is your best bet.
Hunt for It – Wild animals like hares and wolves can be hunted for meat and pelts. Be warned—poaching is illegal, and most animals belong to the king. If you get caught, you’ll have to explain why you’re carrying a sack full of fresh venison.
How to Cook Meat
The easiest way to prepare meat is by cooking it over a stove.
Find a stove or cooking pot. These are usually found in taverns, homes, and camps.
Interact with the cooking pot. Select the raw meat you want to cook.
Wait a few seconds, and your meat is ready. Cooked food has better nourishment and won’t make you sick.
Why cook meat? It fills you up more than raw meat, spoils slower, and won’t give you food poisoning.
How to Smoke Meat
If you want longer-lasting and higher-nutrition meat, smoking is the way to go.
Find a smokehouse. These are rarer than stoves but can be found in some villages.
Interact with the smokehouse. Choose the meat you want to smoke.
Wait for the process to finish. Smoked meat lasts much longer than cooked meat and has better nutrition.
Why smoke meat? It has higher nourishment than cooking but requires finding a smokehouse, which isn’t always easy.
How to Dry Meat
Drying meat prevents it from spoiling but reduces its nutritional value.
Find a drying rack. These are usually near farms and villages.
Interact with the rack and select your meat.
Wait for the drying process to finish.
Why dry meat? It lasts forever but has lower nourishment. Still, it’s great for long journeys where fresh food isn’t available.
Final Blurb
Cooking is the fastest and most common method.
Smoked meat is the best for nutrition, but finding a smokehouse is tricky.
Dried meat lasts the longest, making it perfect for travel.
Avoid eating raw meat unless you enjoy food poisoning.
Now go cook something before your fresh kill turns into a rotten, stinking mess.
