Chef's Workbench

Turn your Minecraft kitchen into a working place to cook, fry, bake, steam, and boil food.

Build Your Kitchen

• Stove: Uses fuel to cook food and can produce a bonus byproduct.
• Pan: Place it directly on top of a stove to fry up to four ingredients.
• Pot: Combine up to six ingredients into one cooked dish.
• Oven: Bake food in eight separate cooking slots.
• Bamboo Steamer: Steam food in four separate cooking slots.
• Counter: Complete your kitchen with a matching preparation surface.

The stove supplies heat to the pan placed above it. Keep fuel in the stove, then use the pan to cook either separate ingredients or a combined recipe.
