Chef-in-the-box (Campground)

From TheKolWiki

A Chef-in-the-box is a furnishing located at your Campground.

[edit] Notes

• Obtained by using a chef-in-the-box.
• The Chef-in-the-box at your campground allows you to cook things without using Adventures. Sadly, it will only last around 80 to 100 uses before exploding in a mess of parts and food, with the message: "Smoke begins to pour from the head of your chef-in-the-box. It begins to vibrate noisily, spits out a few dishes at random, and then explodes." You may receive some warning messages before this actually happens:
  • "The lid of your chef-in-the-box suddenly pops open, and then closes again. Curious."
  • "You hear a strange chattering noise emanating from the innards of your chef-in-the-box."
  • "You hear an unhealthy-sounding clicking noise coming from inside your chef-in-the-box."
  • "Your chef-in-the-box begins to vibrate, then stops with a clanking sound."
• The Clockwork Chef-in-the-box does the same thing, but lasts about 4 times longer.
• Upon ascension, your Chef-in-the-box is lost and must be re-obtained in your next incarnation.
• Some food items can be obtained only from these explosions:

• carob chunk noodles
• chorizo brownies
• white chocolate and tomato pizza

• Additionally, the following regular food items may be obtained from the explosion:

• carob chunk cookies
• chorizo taco
• ghuol egg quiche
• ghuol guolash
• herb brownies
• Knoll shroomkabob
• lihc eye pie
• papaya taco
• rat appendix kabob
• stuffed spooky mushroom
• tofu casserole
• white chocolate chip cookies

• You may also recover a broken skull, and/or some of your original chef-in-the-box parts:

• box
• chef's hat
• disembodied brain
• E-Z Cook Oven™
• smart skull
• spring

• For those so inclined, a way to intentionally blow up a chef is to make a bunch of plain pizzas. The ingredients can all be purchased cheaply from NPC stores.
• It is cheaper to purchase the ingredients to cook pie crusts. As pie crusts are not edible alone, it is optimal to cook lemon meringue or strawberry pies. This gives an average cost of 75 Meat per use of the chef-in-the-box, compared to 120 Meat per use from the plain pizza method. Although less food is produced per use, it is of a slightly higher quality.
