Having your stamina limited because of increasing hunger is one of the major impediments to progressing in PEAK. Climbing depletes your stamina meter steadily, and having more stamina available will allow you to climb for longer. However, as time passes, hunger eats into the stamina meter, reducing your climbing range. 

Eating safe foods you find in the plane’s wreckage and around the island depletes the hunger debuff. When the right foods are cooked before being eaten, the amount of hunger they replenish increases even further. This article will cover how to cook food in PEAK and list all the food items that can be cooked to increase their hunger replenishment.

How To Cook Food in PEAK

To cook food in PEAK, all you need is a food item and an open fire. Equip a food item in your hand and hold E over an open fire to cook it. Doing so once will cook the food and increase its hunger replenishment value by 66%. However, if you cook the same item again, the bonus replenishment is removed and the food becomes burnt. Cooking the same food a third time will incinerate it and make it poisonous to eat.

At campfires, you will need to ignite the fire before being able to cook. Once all players are present, hold E to start the fire. Alternatively, you can use a portable stove to cook food while on the move. The fire around the plane crash site also functions as an open flame and can be used to cook food.

Not all foods available in PEAK should be cooked. In fact, cooking most food items in the game will have a negative effect. Packaged foods, mushrooms, and most fruits should not be cooked, as they offer no benefit or may become harmful. Here are all the foods you can cook and where to find them:
