  "textContent": "Three furniture vendors in Crimson Desert sell the cooking stations that turn the empty house at your Howling Hill camp into a working kitchen. Each one is bought from a different carpenter, placed through the house's building menu, and then unlocks its own recipe list once installed.\n\n🍲\n\nQuick answer: Buy the Cauldron from Vincent at Timberham Sawmill (southwest of Hernand), the Cooking Griddle from Erik in Beighen (Pailun region), and the Cooking Pot from Colin at Hidden Grove Ranch (north of Demeniss). Place each one inside Hernand Residence next to your camp.\n\nImage credit: __Pearl Abyss (via YouTube/@Emmie Jacob)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Vendor locations and prices\n\nAll three stations are sold individually at standard furniture shops scattered across the map. None require story progression to purchase, though you'll need silver and the ability to fast travel back to camp afterwards.\n\nTool| Vendor| Location| Price\n---|---|---|---\nCauldron| Vincent| Timberham Sawmill, southwest of Hernand| 48 silver\nCooking Griddle| Erik| Beighen, Pailun region| 32 silver\nCooking Pot| Colin| Hidden Grove Ranch, north of Demeniss| 32 silver\n\nEach item description in the shop menu reads \"A tool used to cook\" and notes that it must be installed in the house to function. Buying one and leaving it in your inventory does nothing on its own.\n\nAll three stations are sold individually at standard furniture shops | Image credit: __Pearl Abyss (via YouTube/@Emmie Jacob)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Buying the Cauldron from Vincent\n\nVincent runs the Furniture Shop at Timberham Sawmill, a small lumber outpost southwest of Hernand town. He's described in-game as a Hernand carpenter whose work could \"turn any house into an elegant manor,\" and his shelves include the Cauldron alongside chairs, tables, and storage furniture.\n\nThe Cauldron is listed as a tool for making \"various drinks.\" Once installed, it produces tea-style consumables rather than full meals.\n\n* * *\n\n### Buying the Cooking Griddle from Erik\n\nErik's shop sits in Beighen, a village in the Pailun region. The fastest approach is to fast travel to a nearby waypoint and follow the river east into the village; his stall is under a wooden structure with a red roof. He sells the Cooking Griddle for 32 silver, described as a tool for \"various grilled and stir-fried dishes.\"\n\nErik sells the Cooking Griddle for 32 silver | Image credit: __Pearl Abyss (via YouTube/@KpShamino)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Buying the Cooking Pot from Colin\n\nColin operates the Furniture Shop at Hidden Grove Ranch, north of Demeniss. His Cooking Pot costs 32 silver and is meant for \"various soupy dishes,\" covering broths, porridges, and stews that the griddle and cauldron can't make.\n\n* * *\n\n### Installing the cooking stations in your house\n\nThe house tied to the Howling Hill camp is labeled Hernand Residence and sits a short run from the camp's fast travel point. After buying a station, return there and open the building menu from inside.\n\n**Step 1:** Fast travel to Howling Hill and enter the Hernand Residence. Walk to a clear floor space or stone counter where the new station will fit.\n\n**Step 2:** Open the house editing interface to enter the top-down placement view. The new tool appears in the Placeable Items (or Installable) panel on the right.\n\nThe new tool appears in the Placeable Items (or Installable) panel on the right | Image credit: __Pearl Abyss (via YouTube/@KpShamino)__\n\n**Step 3:** Select the Cauldron, Cooking Griddle, or Cooking Pot, rotate it if needed, and confirm placement. If you see \"Cannot place in this location,\" move existing furniture out of the way and try again. The Cauldron sits on the floor; the griddle and pot snap onto the stone counters.\n\n**Step 4:** Exit the building menu and walk up to the installed station. An interaction prompt labeled Cook or Craft confirms it's functional.\n\nWalk up to the cooking station to interact with it | Image credit: __Pearl Abyss (via YouTube/@KpShamino)__\n\n* * *\n\n### What each station cooks\n\nEvery tool opens its own crafting menu with a fixed recipe list. The Cauldron is the only one that produces drinks; the griddle and pot share the \"Special Cooking Tool\" interface but draw from separate recipe pools.\n\nStation| Category| Sample recipes\n---|---|---\nCauldron| Drinks| Antler Tea, Pine Mushroom Tea, Mild Herbal Tea, Fruit Tea\nCooking Griddle| Special Iron Griddle Cooking| Toasted Grains, Grilled Vegetables, Grilled Fruit, Smoked Egg, Pan-Fried Rice Cakes, Mixed Harvest Bowl, Assorted Braised Fish\nCooking Pot| Special Pot Cooking| Vegetable Porridge, Fruit Punch, Meat and Vegetable Porridge, Clear Soup, Bird Soup, Steamed Fish, Seafood Stew\n\nYou can batch-cook by adjusting the quantity at the confirmation prompt, which is useful if you're stockpiling teas or grilled meats before a long expedition. A short cooking animation plays, then the finished items drop into your inventory with an on-screen pickup notification.\n\n* * *\n\n### Things to know before you commit\n\nThe house at Howling Hill sits right next to the main camp, so the cooking stations effectively give you a second crafting hub a few seconds' walk from your stash and vendors. There's no storage chest inside the house itself, so ingredients still have to be pulled from your inventory or the camp stash before cooking.\n\nIf you progress far enough to relocate your camp to Pailune, the Howling Hill house is left behind. Players who plan to move should weigh whether they want to invest in furniture for a residence they'll eventually abandon, or wait until after the relocation to set up a kitchen at the new home.\n\n⚠️\n\nThe Cauldron, Griddle, and Pot each take up a noticeable footprint inside the house. If a placement fails, drag existing furniture (including any pre-placed cauldron from a quest) to a different spot before trying again.",
