 * 2) Place a empty vessel on to one of the fires cooking spots.
 * 3) Fill the vessel with unclean/dirty water from a bidon. Take care when filling vessels with water. Make sure to have selected the container, to avoid accidentally pouring the water on the highest point of the fire which will cause the flames extinguish.
 * 4) Wait for the water to boil.
 * 5) When boiled either press  to drink, or use a bidon to store the clean water.

Drying
Food can be dried by using drying racks. This method is one of the longest ways of cooking, however food will last three times longer then when using basic roasting. The only downside to drying is that it requires the dryer to be placed under a shelter otherwise rain will stop the drying process and it will restart after the rain stopped.

Smoked
Smoking food requires a smoker and a fire. Smoking is quicker than drying and less nutrients are lost during the process. Smoked food lasts two days longer than roasted foods.

Soups
Soups can be made by placing clean water in to a cooking vessel and adding an additional ingredient. Only one ingredient can be added to soups and brews. Stewing food is the fastest way to cook food, but they can not be stored in bidons. The player can however drag and place the soups vessel on to the ground and drink it at a later date.
