Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a variety of activities, like fishing in the ponds, gardening around the village, and crafting new furniture. One of the most exciting things to do is cook delicious meals to restore energy and share with your Disney and Pixar friends. However, cooking one meal at a time can be a slow and tedious process.

True love sees you through any struggle–even a malevolent curse.
Thankfully, there’s a way you can prepare numerous meals at a time. We’ll show you how to do it and how you can make the most of this new machine in your village. Here’s everything you need to know about the slow cooker and how to start meal prepping.
How To Craft The Slow Cooker
Once you have Tiana in your village and you progress with her, you’ll unlock the Slow and Steady quest. Talk with Tiana in the village to discuss a way to prepare multiple meals over time.
She gives you the recipe for Gumbo and the blueprints to make a Slow Cooker. This device allows you to make large batches of dishes at a time in exchange for Dreamlight.
Head to your crafting station to make one. It requires the following materials:
- 2,500 Dreamlight
- 6 Iron Ingots
- 2 Tinkering Parts
- 20 Hardwood
You can make multiple Slow Cookers, but you only need one for the quest.
How To Use The Slow Cooker
Once it’s built, place it anywhere in the village or in your home. Interact with it to review the tutorial. You can select any ingredients from memory or from a recipe. Add them to the Slow Cooker, then select the quantity of dishes to make.
The cost in Dreamlight varies depending on how many dishes you make!
After adding Dreamlight to the cooker, the meals will take time to prepare. Go about your duties or take a break, then come back to the Slow Cooker later to retrieve your meals. You’ll know that the Slow Cooker is done when it glitters!
The Slow Cooker Vs. Ancient Cooker
While the Slow Cooker is a wonderful free addition to the Valley, it’s similar to the Ancient Cooker from the A Rift In Time Expansion Pass. The Ancient Cooker requires Mist instead of Dreamlight, allowing you to use the additional currency to prep meals if you’re finished with business on Eternity Isle.
Dreamlight is a precious commodity, so it’s worth using the Ancient Cooker if you have one to conserve that special magic. However, building these devices takes longer, especially if you want one with more perks.
The Advanced Ancient Cooker works twice as fast as the Slow Cooker.
Which one is best depends on how often you plan to use the device, how many meals you want, and how much you’re willing to grind for either Mist or Dreamlight. Both have merit, and there’s no reason you can’t use multiple cooking machines to prepare a feast.
