▲A higher cooking skill reduces the chances of a [[Sim]] accidentally causing a [[fire]] while cooking. In ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', Sims will learn to make different meals as their Cooking skill increases, and the chance that they will burn a meal will go down. Some [[career]]s require cooking skills, most notably the [[Culinary]] career.
To increase a Sim's cooking skills, they may need to buy a bookcase and read a cooking book. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', preparing [[food]], even cold food such as cereal or sandwiches, also increases the skill. Even so, it's still recommended to have a few skill points before attempting to cook on a [[stove]], as one constant in the Sims games is that an unskilled cook using a stove is liable to start a fire.
In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 3'', the Cooking skill determines how satisfying a meal is when a Sim has made it. The better the Sim's

▲In ''[[The Sims]]'', cooking is a very important skill, as using a stove or toaster oven with less than three points carries a risk of fire, and using one with no Cooking skill at all is a high fire risk. Sims with low Cooking skill can use a [[Microwave oven|microwave]], which only has a small chance of starting a fire, but meals made in a microwave are not as satisfying as those cooked on a stove. Also, if a kitchen has both a stove and a microwave, the player cannot choose which one the Sim will use. The only way to be sure that a low-skilled Sim uses a microwave is to not give him or her anything else.
If a [[food processor]] is not available, higher cooking skill will reduce the amount of time a Sim needs to prepare and cook a meal.
===The Sims: Makin' Magic===
In ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', cooking is vastly expanded to encompass baked goods and [[nectar]]. Sims can make bread, pie or cake in the '''Standard Plus Brick Oven''' and nectar can be made in the '''A Pressing Feeling''' nectar press by collecting and combining ingredients. The baking oven carries a slightly higher fire risk than a regular stove; Sims need at least five points to use it safely. Using incorrect ingredients will produce a burned mess or undrinkable liquid, regardless of the maker's

While cooking skill does not actually determine the amount of satisfaction gained from eating [[food]], a higher cooking skill means the Sim can cook dishes that have a higher satisfaction, and decreases the chance of burning the food, or even starting a fire. In addition, high-level Sims will occasionally giggle and mock the program when watching the

▲Cooking as a skill returns in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. The skill is augmented by the [[Natural Cook]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]]. The level of cooking skill determines what quality dishes can be made, what kinds of foods can be made, and the likelihood of whether the cooker will start a fire (if using appliances that aren't fireproof). However, Sims are not able to make certain foods until they learn the [[Cooking (The Sims 3)#Recipes|recipes]] for them. Several [[Opportunity|opportunities]] exist for skilled cooks. Sims can purchase cooking books and from there learn how to cook certain foods.
