Higher cooking skill will reduce the amount of time a Sim needs to prepare and cook a meal unless a [[food processor]] is used. |

Sims will always prepare the same meals regardless of their cooking skill level. When instructed to make or serve a meal, they will always produce a can of beans if there is no preparation surface or food processor; a plate of salad if there is no cooking appliance; and a plate of steak and beans if both a preparation surface and a cooking appliance are available. |

There are several possible food preparation paths and outcomes depending on what appliances (if any) are available, whether or not free preparation space is available, and whether the sim is attempting to prepare a quick meal or a full one: |
|||
- The grill is a unique appliance that bypasses the need for a refrigerator, free preparation space, or anything else; it is one-stop shopping and it yields a plate with a half-dozen burgers every time it is used. |
|||
- If neither a cooking appliance nor free preparation space is available, then requesting a quick meal from the fridge yields some kind of boxed "TV dinner", requesting a full meal yields a can, and "serving" meals yields a plate with six cans on it. |
|||
- If only free preparation space is available, OR if there is a food processor (regardless of free prep space), then a quick meal from the fridge yields boxed TV dinner and a full meal yields a plate with green and yellow stuff on it. |
|||
- If a cooking appliance is available, but free preparation space is not, then a quick meal yields a small plate of yellow, orange, and brown stuff, but a full meal yields a can, and serving yields a plate of six cans. |
|||
- If a cooking appliance AND free prep space are both available, then a quick meal yields the small plate of orange stuff, and a full meal yields a plate with recognizable meat and veggies on it. The "meat and veggies" plate is the only type of food item with an obvious place in the hierarchy of food qualities, and it is the best. Trying to rank cans, burgers, boxes, pizza slices, and everything else from best to worst is a guessing game. |
