+''"Give Steve some coal, he'll eat for a day.  Teach Steve how to make a cooking cauldron and he'll eat for a lifetime"'' - Ancient Minecraft proverb
+
+One of the first things you should do, sometimes before you get into a lot of milling of wheat, is to make a cooking cauldron.  These can be used to cook many foods that are also cooked the same way in a regular furnace but with the added benefit of cooking more than one thing at a time.  There are also some exotic dishes that can only be crafted using the cooking cauldron.

+
+== Crafting
+To craft a cooking cauldron you will need 5 iron ingots and a bone:

+
+== Placing
+There are some restrictions and other things to keep in-mind about placing a cooking cauldron:
+1.  Must be placed adjacent to something solid
+1.  Will not function without fire directly beneath it
+1.  Will burn food if not kept filled with water (from a bucket)
+
+[[Image(cooking-cauldron-placement.jpeg)]]
+
+Use the image above as a guide to place the cauldron:
+1.  Build a tower of two blocks from brick or stone
+1.  Place the cooking cauldron on the ''side'' of the top-most block (we need a space directly beneath the cooking cauldron)
+1.  Place a block of netherrack or wood two blocks beneath the cooking cauldron
+1.  Light the wood on fire using some flint and steel or a fire charge (if you have one this early in the game)
+
+Note how the cauldron makes burning sounds, this is because it is not filled with water yet and will burn food if placed inside it:
+1.  Grab a bucket and fill it with water
+1.  Right click the water bucket on the cooking cauldron
+
+Now your cooking cauldron is ready to cook food.

+
+The cooking cauldron is like any other machine, right-click on it to access the GUI.  There are three things to make note of:
+1.  The cooking progress of the food in the pot
+1.  The ''fire indicator'' indicating if there is fire heating the pot from beneath
+1.  The ''bucket indicator'' which indicates the current water level
+
+'''NOTE:''' Keep an eye on the water level, it goes down slowly as the pot cooks from the fire.  If the pot runs dry while food is cooking then your food will burn!
+
+Use [wiki:/CraftGuide#MachineRecipes] to find the available cooking cauldron recipes.  Remember, you can cook more than one recipe at a time, just make sure there is enough room for all the ingredients for each recipe including one extra free slot for the product (the cooked food).
