Cauldron

The Cauldron is the most important cooking station in Valheim. All the best foods in the game are cooked at a cauldron. You also prepare all meads at a cauldron before fermenting them.

At some point during the middle of the game, you will graduate from cooking stations and do almost all of your meal prep at the cauldron.

You can craft a cauldron after acquiring Tin bars and crafting a Forge. Although you don’t need the forge to place a cauldron, it is required to unlock the recipe because a cauldron requires metalworking.

To place a cauldron you just need a hammer, a nearby workbench, and a heat source below the cauldron, such as a campfire or hearth.

Upgrading the Cauldron

Spice Rack

The Spice Rack will typically be the first upgrade for the cauldron because many of the items in its recipe are acquired early on in the game; the hardest item to acquire being turnips whos seeds can be found in the swamp. There must be a workbench nearby if you are to build a spice rack.
