Introduction: Why Cooking Matters in Genshin Impact
Welcome, fellow Traveler! If you’ve spent any significant amount of time in Teyvat, you know the world of Genshin Impact is vast, beautiful, and, let’s be honest, sometimes incredibly dangerous. While swinging your sword and unleashing Elemental Bursts is crucial, there's another core mechanic that often gets overlooked but is essential for long-term success: cooking.
Cooking isn't just a fun side activity; it’s a vital part of your adventure. Need a quick boost to your HP? A temporary buff to your Crit Rate before tackling a tough boss? Or maybe you just want to make those pesky commissions a little easier? The answer lies in the pot.
This comprehensive Genshin Guide will break down everything you need to know about preparing delicious (and sometimes questionable) meals in Genshin Impact, from the absolute basics to mastering those rare, five-star recipes. Let’s fire up that stove and get cooking!
The Basics: Where, When, and How to Cook
Before you start hoarding Sweet Flowers and Slime Condensates, you need to know the fundamentals.
Where Can You Cook?
Cooking spots are scattered all over Teyvat. You’ll find them marked by an icon that looks like a small cooking pot. They are usually located near major cities, important domains, or frequently visited waypoints.
Pro Tip: Once you unlock your Serenitea Pot (Housing System), you gain access to your very own portable cooking station! This means you can cook anywhere, anytime, without trekking back to Mondstadt or Liyue. This is arguably the most convenient feature for serious adventurers.
The Cooking Interface
When you interact with a cooking pot, you’ll see a menu divided into sections:
1. Dishes: The recipes you have learned.
2. Ingredients: A quick inventory check of what you are carrying.
3. Materials: Basic components like raw meat or eggs.
To cook, simply select the dish, and the game will tell you exactly how many ingredients you need.
Manual Cooking vs. Auto Cooking: The Luck Factor
This is where the magic (or the disaster) happens. Genshin Impact offers two ways to cook:
Auto Cook: Select the recipe, confirm the ingredients, and hit "Cook." The game does the heavy lifting, but you won’t get any extra benefit.
Manual Cook: Choose the recipe, but instead of hitting auto, you click the "Cook Manually" button. This initiates a mini-game where you have to time your button press perfectly when the moving indicator lands in the sweet spot.
Why Manual Cook? Successfully timing the manual cook gives you a chance to create extra copies of the dish, or, more importantly, create a Special Dish.
Understanding Dish Quality: Normal, Suspicious, and Delicious
Every recipe has three potential outcomes when you cook it:
1. Suspicious: The lowest quality. This usually results from failing the manual cook mini-game or sometimes even auto-cooking low-level recipes. Suspicious dishes often have weaker effects.
2. Normal: The standard outcome. This is what you get 90% of the time using auto-cook. It provides the intended stats.
3. Delicious: The highest quality. This happens when you succeed spectacularly at the manual cook mini-game. Delicious dishes provide enhanced effects (e.g., higher HP recovery, longer buff duration, or slightly better stat boosts).
Key Takeaway: If you need the absolute best buffs for challenging content (like Abyss Floor 12), always aim for the Delicious version via manual cooking.
Mastering Manual Cooking: Increasing Your Odds
You might think manual cooking is purely luck, but there are ways to tilt the odds in your favor.
Character Proficiency Bonuses
This is the single most important factor for boosting your success rate. Certain characters have passive talents related to cooking that significantly reduce the chance of producing a Suspicious dish or increase the chance of a Delicious one.
How it works: If you use a character whose passive talent matches the recipe's region or dish type, the chance of a successful manual cook (and therefore Delicious output) skyrockets.
| Character | Region/Type Focus | Passive Benefit |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Amber | Mondstadt Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Mondstadt specialty dishes. |
| Kaeya | Mondstadt Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Mondstadt specialty dishes. |
| Lisa | Mondstadt Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Mondstadt specialty dishes. |
| Ningguang | Liyue Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Liyue specialty dishes. |
| Keqing | Liyue Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Liyue specialty dishes. |
| Xiangling | Liyue Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Liyue specialty dishes. |
| Yoimiya | Inazuma Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Inazuma specialty dishes. |
| Thoma | Inazuma Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Inazuma specialty dishes. |
| Kirara | Sumeru Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Sumeru specialty dishes. |
| Tighnari | Sumeru Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Sumeru specialty dishes. |
| Lyney | Fontaine Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Fontaine specialty dishes. |
| Navia | Fontaine Specialty Dishes | 25% chance to duplicate Fontaine specialty dishes. |
Crucial Note: These passive skills only trigger when cooking a Special Dish associated with that region, not the standard version of the recipe.
The "Sweet Spot" Timing
While the indicator moves at a set speed, landing in the precise center of the target zone guarantees a Delicious dish, provided you haven't already hit the cap for that specific recipe. Practice makes perfect. Look for the visual cue—it usually flashes brightly right before the ideal zone appears.
Decoding Recipe Types and Their Uses
Genshin Impact cooking buffs fall into several major categories, each serving a distinct purpose in your journey.
1. Healing Dishes (HP Recovery)
These are your bread and butter for daily exploration and low-stakes battles.
Examples: Fisherman’s Toast, Grilled Tiger Fish, Satisfying Salad.
Best Use: Restoring party HP quickly without relying on characters’ skill cooldowns or healing food stocks.
Delicious Advantage: Significantly higher HP restoration percentage or flat HP amount.
2. Revive Dishes (Bringing Characters Back)
Essential for when things go south, these revive fallen teammates with a set amount of HP.
Examples: Invigorating Platter, Universal Peace.
Best Use: Emergency recovery in domains or boss fights.
Delicious Advantage: Revives the character with more HP.
3. ATK/DEF Buff Dishes (Combat Enhancement)
These are the most prized recipes for tackling endgame content like the Spiral Abyss or world bosses. They provide temporary percentage increases to your main damage stats.
Examples:
ATK Buff: Golden Shrimp Balls, Steak, Mondstadt Hash Browns.
DEF Buff: Teyvat Fried Egg, Sticky Honey Roast.
Best Use: Consumed immediately before starting a tough fight.
Delicious Advantage: Higher percentage boosts (e.g., a Delicious "Golden Shrimp Balls" might give +30% ATK compared to the Normal’s +22%).
4. Stamina & Movement Dishes
Crucial for exploration and tackling long stretches of challenging terrain or complex platforming segments.
Examples: Berry Mind, Invigorating Pudding.
Best Use: Climbing steep mountains, gliding long distances, or executing prolonged combat sequences that rely on dodging.
Delicious Advantage: Increased total Stamina bar or faster Stamina regeneration rate.
5. Elemental Resistance Buffs
Less common, but situationally vital, these dishes increase resistance against specific elements.
Examples: Spicy Spicy Tempura (Pyro RES), Frosty Meat (Cryo RES).
Best Use: Fighting bosses that exclusively use a specific element (e.g., the Pyro Regisvine or the Cryo Regisvine).
