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 toaster oven or [[Microwave oven|microwave]], which only has a small chance of starting a fire, but meals made in a toaster oven or microwave are not as satisfying as those cooked on a stove. Also, if a kitchen has
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.
