A wider range of cooking fuels

[formerly known as hf]

Unless you have a fire place - which requires a safe outdoor environment (ha...) Then the only fuel for cooking is wood.

I asked for this before - but I can't find the post - we really need to be able to use coal as a cooking fuel.

It'd also be good to have an in-door 'cooking machine' (fireplace?) which can make and use dried dung on some recipies.

[Solfius]

that sounds a good idea, HF

Unless you have a fire place - which requires a safe outdoor environment (ha...) Then the only fuel for cooking is wood.

Unless I am mistaken, you can use wood, salt, propane, coal, and charcoal for cooking indoors.

[Solfius]

salt for cooking? I never knew you could burn salt like that.

Someone must be in a land where being outside is a good way to die.

Coal, Charcoal, and Propane can be used in a variety of ovens. Salt can be used in a salting barrel to make meat edible, not burning it obviously, but you still get some food you can eat.

We've been talking things over regarding drying dung inside, I'm not sure if things have been added yet.

[Solfius]

it would make sense to be able to dry dung inside

[Valsum]

Yeah, but current way (needing to get coal, charcoal or propane if you want to cook indoors) is interesting as well, folks.

Yeah, ok, I feel like a prat now...

I forgot about the coal and gas ovens...

Can I make another request then - that the coal and gas ovens have a scrambled egg recipe...

As it is - scrambled eggs require dung (which means being outside) or wood (which means being outside to get it, and being near a wood source)

Or

Alternatively - sort out the animal numbers...

New lands are never gonna get colonised at this rate...

I'm out of minutes so can not confirm, but I think one of my characters has a primitive oven built indoors and the cooks in the area I think use it all the time to dry dung.

I've never understood why you're not able to scramble or boil eggs on an oven. I do it every morning at home.

[Zanthos]

thats odd...

I make my eggs on a griddle and I have used pans before, but I've never heard of making them in the oven.

[Sarah]

I don't think she means in the oven; she said on it. As in, on top, on the burners. I guess if you really wanted to, you could make eggs inside the oven too, though.

I prefer the microwave, myself, on the rare occasion I have breakfast, and if I'm not too lazy to actually cook something.

[Marian]

LOL, yes, that's what I meant. On the oven. Why can't we do that in Cantr?

[Solfius]

because that isn't an oven, that's a hob.

In my house, the hob and the oven are separate, and the same is true of Cantr.

(That's right, my house forms the blueprint for Cantr, I sure wish I could stop my things falling apart and get rid of all the mountains goats from my bathroom)

Wasn't someone moaning only the other day about people trying to solve IG problems by moaning and making suggestions on the forum...??
