Why Can't I Cook?

[Ashiel]

I build a firepit, gathered clay, made a pot, fired the pot, placed the pot on the firepit, placed ingredients and fuel. Nothing I do makes it provide the message that it will cook, and it won't do anything except burn away all the fuel.

EDIT: Also 2 uncooked meat alone will not work either. Been trying various combinations from the wiki's cooking page and it just doesn't do anything.

The picture looks like you're using bushmeat (from wolves and other carnivores) rather than fresh meat (from pigs, sheep, rabbits).

Bushmeat can only be cooked over an open flame (by itself; not in a pot).

Thank you. I've been so frustrated trying to understand why I can't cook meat.
I guess I'ma have to figure out how to mod it then. :c

Also you can install mod for bush meat cooking.
