Cook Food in Sims 3

Sims 3 brings a whole new aspect of cooking into your characters' life. It's played differently than Sims 1 and 2 and brings a mirrored image of reality into the game.
Steps
- For cheaper meals, use home-grown fruits and vegetables and fish caught by your sim. Otherwise, buy ingredients from the supermarket when there is a deal or with the Lifetime Reward Haggler. If you do not have the necessary ingredients for a meal, money will be subtracted from your inventory to cover the cost of the ingredients.
- Use the best quality products. Obviously when a Sim uses the best ingredients, the final product will result in the best type of food. Kitchen appliances work the same - using an inexpensive stove may give lesser quality food than a top-notch grill.
- Travel to different destinations to learn other recipes. Each destination, China, France, and Egypt, also gives you the opportunity to learn and make local foods. In order to travel, you need the World Adventures expansion pack.
- Know the mealtimes and dates. Breakfast is served from 1 to 11 am Mondays through Fridays and 1 to 9 am on weekends. Brunch is only served on the weekends from 9 am to 3 pm. Lunch is available from 11 am to 5 pm Mondays through Fridays and 3 to 5 pm on weekends. Dinner is available from 5 pm to 1 am every day.

Tips
- Children can however use the play oven available in the the toy section of the kids tab, to bake and eat a muffin or plate of muffins.
- When your Sim is cooking a recipe with a random ingredient (such as pancakes), they will use the first ingredient available in their inventory. If there's no eligible ingredient, they will use the first one in the refrigerator.
- Sims must be at least a Teen to cook over a stove. Children can obtain food from the refrigerator or eating what others have cooked.
Warnings
- ALWAYS make sure you have a smoke detector in the kitchen. In the event of a fire, the smoke detector automatically contacts the fire department. Fires are almost always caused by inexperienced Sims.
