Preparing food becomes increasingly important during Palworld’s later stages, especially as your growing workforce and stronger Pals require a constant supply of high quality meals.
The Ancient Kitchen is the ultimate cooking station, capable of preparing every food recipe available while greatly increasing cooking efficiency for large scale production.
With a massive +500% work speed, the Ancient Kitchen becomes an essential upgrade for players looking to keep their entire base supplied with food.
How To Unlock Ancient Kitchen?
The Ancient Kitchen can be unlocked once you reach Level 70, requiring 4 Technology Points from the Technology Menu.
Unlike earlier cooking stations, the Ancient Kitchen is designed for endgame food production and can cook every recipe currently available in Palworld.
The following materials are required to build an Ancient Kitchen:
- 80 Soralite Ingot
- 30 Thermal Core
- 50 Cryogenic Coolant
- 10 Ancient Civilization Core
How To Use Ancient Kitchen?
The Ancient Kitchen requires both a Kindling Pal and a Handiwork Pal to operate, with both Pals working together throughout the cooking process.
Each Pal fills its own progress meter, and both meters must be completed before one cooking cycle is finished.
If one Pal finishes its work first, its progress is stored while the Ancient Kitchen waits for the other Pal to complete its own task.
What Can The Ancient Kitchen Cook?
The Ancient Kitchen is capable of cooking every food recipe currently available, making it the highest tier cooking station in the game.
Whether you’re preparing meals for your workforce, powerful combat food, or advanced cooking recipes, everything can be produced from a single structure.
This removes the need to continue using older cooking stations once you have reached Palworld’s endgame.
Ancient Kitchen Benefits
The biggest advantage of the Ancient Kitchen is its +500% work speed, allowing food to be prepared significantly faster than previous cooking stations.
Since every recipe can be prepared from a single station, there’s no longer any reason to keep older cooking stations around your base.
Having dedicated Kindling and Handiwork Pals assigned to the Ancient Kitchen also allows cooking to continue automatically while you explore, gather resources, or focus on other activities.
Large endgame bases can consume enormous amounts of food, making the Ancient Kitchen one of the best upgrades for maintaining a reliable supply without long cooking times.
Verdict
The Ancient Kitchen is the pinnacle of food production, making it the best cooking station currently available in Palworld.
Although building it requires several expensive endgame materials, the increased work speed and ability to cook every recipe quickly repay the investment.
If you plan on running a large late game base with many working Pals, the Ancient Kitchen is a structure that deserves a permanent place in your production setup.
