This, as far as my search using the words "better cooking" have told me, is an original idea. This will make cooking much more enjoyable and realistic. It all starts with one block
The Oven Block
Recipe:
maybe someone could suggest a better recipe, I can't think of anything.
info: This block would be the newest block added into the minecraftian home. It would look similar to a furnace, but made of (stone?)bricks, with a slightly shiny top. Placing it would have the open part facing towards the player (like a furnace) right clicking opens a cooking GUI. Other Notes
The oven can only be used to cook and mix food, while the furnace can only be used for smelting ores.
The GUI
The gui on the oven block would look something like a furnace on the right, and a crafting bench on the left, with some slight alterations. One alteration are three "tool slots" next to the crafting table like part. These would hold your basic cooking tools (knife, whisk, and bowl) one other change is that there is a "use tool" slot near the grid. Not too much else is changed, other than the fact that you can only work with food on the oven.
The Tools The knife
recipe:
it's stone because iron is overused.
Uses:
The knife is used for cutting meat, cake, and sammiches. In a quicker version. it cuts stuff. It could potentially be used as mediocre weapon, but it's not suggested. The whisk
recipe:
uses:
The whisk is used for mixing cake batter, cookie dough, and anything else that needs mixing. The bowl
recipe:
you all should know this one.
Uses:
besides mushroom stew, there isn't much use for the bowl. I suggest we change that, so it becomes an important tool for some more advanced cooking. It holds raw dough, salad, and mushroom stew (not too much change there!) and any other form of food that requires a bowl.
Using The GUI
First, you would want to start by making your 3 tools. Put them in the tool slots on the GUI. Now, to mix, chop, or it in a bowl,you place an item you want to do one of those actions on in the 3x3 grid. next, you place a tool into the use tool slot, and on the output, it should have a finished product, or a component of the recipe. The furnace part is how you would expect, slap something that needs cooking in it, fuel, and bam! cooked whatever.
Possible Recipes
Now, knowing what this GUI does is great and stuff, but There also needs to be some new recipes, and recipe changes (bread and cake) Let's start out with a very simple one. Chopped Pork
Heals- maybe half to one heart more than pork.
Uses- eaten, or can be put in other recipes (salad, namely)
Firt, you would cook up some pork.
Next, you place it in the counter top (the 3x3 grid) and place the knife in the use tool slot. It will then give you sliced pork. Salad
Heals- normal, 4 hearts. With pork, 4.5-5 hearts.
Uses- eaten.
First, you need to gather some plants. Maybe there would be lettuce items, but I doubt it. Wild plants that don't have a real description sounds a bit better.
Next, you place four in a square in the grid. Place a whisk in the use slot. It will require a bowl to retreive it from the output.
Optionally, salad can be topped with chopped pork by placing chopped pork on top of a salad in the grid, with a whisk in the use slot. It doesn't need a bowl, because the salad is already in the bowl.
I have a few more recipe ideas, but can't write them all at this moment,so just say your comment/ critiques if you wish.
*THIS IS NOT DONE, I'M TAKING A BREAK, AND WILL COME BACK because its a bit more effort. It could be put on salad.
SaladAND FINISH THIS LATER*
The 'oven' block should be different from the furnace, perhaps a bricked surface? Idk just a different texture. Also it should take off 50% of the original cooking time for food so it's highly dedicated for food and ONLY food. Also could cook eggs & cook sugar for caramel?

Go check out some of my suggestions on my profile, in the about me tab!
I like this idea. The furnace should only be able to cook pork at 1/4 rate. All else should be made with this cooking station. Cakes should need to be cooked.

That's a great idea! I couldn't think of too much when describing the oven, and that is a good idea.
maybe when 1.8 comes out, it could be made of stone brick
I changed some stuff about the oven (description) and a new recipe may follow. I also added two recipes, with more coming later today, maybe. (cake and various cookies are definitely on the list. Bread, too)

You can't make metre cubed pieces of rock get jiggy with each other, that's just WRONG.
Awesome idea because I always forget to get my food out of the furnace and it takes my coal maybe u can overcook food so u need to test different foods then u set a sign with the time it took :biggrin.gif: and 1+ Great idea

Also please finish your posts before making them.
well the cooking right now is really boring. And sorry about not finishing my posts, I don't know how to save these to drafts or anything.
I'll farm all day long with peaceful on.
