Starting out inDon’t Starve Togetheris the trickiest part of the journey, as players need to collect items quickly to ensure they can thrive in the Constant. At first,Don’t Starvesurvivors will likely have to settle with Carrots and Berries as they also need to collect essential materials like Grass, Twigs, and Logs, but later on, surviving on Carrots and Berries will prove to be inefficient.
Therefore, making a Crock Pot early in the game is a decent idea so that players can spend less time collecting food and cook more efficient dishes instead. To help survivors with making Crock Pot dishes, here are some of theeasiest Crock Pot recipes inDon’t Starve Together.

Butter Muffin is one of the easiest things to make in the early game as players simply need a Butterfly Wing and a Vegetable. Butterflies are abundant in areas with flowers and bees, while the Vegetable slot can be filled with a Mushroom Cap or Carrot. Once the two main ingredients are collected, the final two items can simply be two Twigs or two Ice. Players can also use Moon Moth Wings, but that’s not an early-game item.
The food perishes in a decent time and restores a good amount of hunger and health. This Crock Pot recipe is easily one of the best ways to turn harmful foods like Red Cap into something beneficial for theDon’t Starve Togethersurvivors.

Don’t Starve Togethertypically starts in Fall/Autumn, so the next season is Winter. Since both seasons are cold, players can explore the world to find some Ice. In Winter, Ice is incredibly easy to get, so the survivors can simply mix one meat with three Ice to make a Bunny Stew. Those who can make an Ice Box can also put the Ice they ravage in Winter asIce doesn’t melt in the Ice Box. This means it’s not a bad idea to stock up enough of the frozen water to last the entire year.
Although the name of the dish is ‘Bunny’ Stew, any small meat like Frog Legs or Batilisk Wing will also end up as a Bunny Stew if combined with sufficient Ice.

Although low on the Health andSanity restoration inDon’t Starve Together, Meatballs are excellent at restoring Hunger. To make this dish, simply put one Meat with three fillers. No Inedible can be used, soplayers can’t mix this recipe with Twigs, but other common items like Berries, Roasted Birchnut, Ice, Mushroom Cap, Butterfly Wing, and Carrot are all viable options.
Any Meat works for making Meatballs, but using small Meat like Morsels means players can only use one Ice in the recipe; two Ice will create a Bunny Stew. Bigger Meat like Monster Meat, however, can be safely turned into Meatballs by mixing it with three Ice in the Crock Pot.

Players who require healing can easily make Trail Mix toheal inDon’t Starve Together. Simply mix Roasted Birchnut (must be roasted first. Raw Birchnut won’t work) with one Berry and one Fruit to make a meal that recovers 30 HP. Since Berries also count as Fruit, players can use two Berries and add a Twig or Ice as the filler.
However, while this Crock Pot dish is an excellent and easy healing food, it’s important to remember that Birchnut Trees don’t drop their fruits all year. The best time to collect Birchnut is in autumn as it can drop two of the fruits, while in Winter it’s leafless and doesn’t yield any Birchnut until Spring.

Froggle Bunwich specifically requests Frog Legs, which may be annoying to farm, but if players find themselves having a lot of this meat, then they canconsider making this Crock Pot dish. It has a similar stat recovery as Bunny Stew and Butter Muffin, but like Butter Muffin and unlike Bunny Stew, Froggle Bunwich can be made safely with two Twigs. If players prefer more Hunger restoration, however, then it’s probably better to make a Meatball.
No Meats, Vegetables, or Inedible
Fist Full of Jam is not a fully useful dish to make, but it does have its uses. With a mere 37.5 Hunger recovery, players basically will get the same amount by eating Roasted Berries. However, Fist Full of Jam can still be useful in the following situations:

Fishes + Twigs x1
No Inedible other than the required Twig
Those who enjoyfishing inDon’t Starve Together, whether in the freshwater or salt water, will have plenty of opportunities to make Fish Sticks. Players only need to mix a Fish and a Twig and add fillers to make this delicacy. It has a massive Health recovery, sitting at 40 HP, but in exchange, it has a fast Perish Time, getting bad after only 10 days.
