Branch Times - Baking

[niltrias]

One more thing, not exactly baking, but related.
Toasting germinated wheat takes exactly 1 stick, and is done in a kiln, not an oven. More than 1 stick in the kiln will either destroy it completely or turn it to ash, I dont recall which.

turns it to ash

[kobnach]

If you overcook it, it immediately turns to ash. The only use for which is the Necromancer's Cloak. Also, there's the oven bug which causes foods to tick if they sit in an unlit oven. In this case, it's best to load the sticks, then put the food in the oven and light it immediately.

I work things the other way - load the oven, then light with exactly one stick whenever I get around to it. Sometimes I do so too soon and need to add another stick, but no harm done. Of course it helps that I'm generally right there near the ovens, cooking or harvesting.

The advantage is that I don't have to make dough in sets of 4.

Also depends on quality, any bread under q7 burns at 3 branches

If you are working with a group and someone like Kobnach above bakes using this method. Make sure you know whats going on and if they are baking. They throw a little tantrum when they find out that their method has been overtaken by the programmed method. And then even if you explain that you never knew about the trick or even that they were doing it. They will hold it against you forever...

Albiet this should be fairly obvious. For the sake of the new bees, I'd like to add that charcoal and blocks of wood counts as two branches, each.
