How To Use Fire For Cooking Food In Sons Of The Forest

Simply equip whatever food you want to cook, likely some meat, and drop it on top of your campfire. If you have multiple food items of different types, you can use the same fire to cook them all at once.

A key point to remember is that you can incinerate yourself on the fire, so be sure not to step on it.

Building a campfire provides a source of warmth and keeps the wild animals away from your resting area. However, its greatest use is cooking food, which is vital to survival on the island. Cooking food on the fire is fairly simple if you have the necessary items.

Although you can find different types of berries and other edibles on the island, cooking protein-riched food is crucial to pull through during your time in the forest.
