Cooking in Genshin Impact is a game mechanic. Cooking is mainly used to prepare food or a dish by following a recipe and using certain ingredients. There are various recipes found in the game, and on this page, you'll find tips and relevant information on how to utilize cooking, as well as information on the various recipes and ingredients needed to prepare the food you want.
Manual Cooking
When a player first learns a new dish, they must become proficient in making that dish by manually cooking it a certain amount of times before being able to auto cook it. Manually cooking requires the player to stop the cooking timer when the indicator is in the correct position. The location the indicator is stopped at affects the potency of the dish cooked. The orange section gives the maximum food effect, while the outside grey section gives the minimum food effect.
