Microwave, Oven, Grill, and Candy Machine
Simply click on the relevant appliance with an ingredient in hand in order to insert it into the appliance. Click on the appliance to see a list of every ingredient inside the machine and to see the controls to turn it on. As long as what you've placed inside matches the recipe, once the cooking is finished, the machine will automatically spit out the finished product. If Science upgrades these machines, then they'll spit out multiple of the end product for the same amount of ingredients put in!
If the ingredients put in don't match a recipe, then instead a burned mess will be spit out at the end of cooking. Do this too many times, and the appliance will become dirty, and won't work again until it's cleaned with space cleaner or a damp rag.
Deep Fryer
Click on the Deep Fryer with any edible item in-hand, and it will create a deep-fried version of said food! Certain specific foods will turn into new foods when deep-fried (that themselves can be deep-fried again!)
All-In-One Grinder
The grinder has two modes, Grind and Juice. Grinding will take any food item and break it down into its constituent reagents. You can thus use it to extract specific chemicals from certain foods. Certain vegetables and plants can be ground to create ingredients. Using the Juice mode will turn fruits and vegetables into juice, usable both for cooking and for drink making.
Click on the Grinder with an item in hand in order to insert it. Click on the Grinder itself to access its controls, including the button to remove the beaker that contains the resulting chemicals or liquids after grinding/juicing is complete.
Food Processor
Click on the Food Processor with certain vegetables or ingredients in hand in order to process them into new ingredients.
Ice Cream Maker
Insert a beaker, bucket, or other container with liquids, chemicals, or ground food in it. You can then add these ingredients, as well as randomly selected booze or soda to an ice cream cone (chocolate or vanilla). The name and colour of the resultant ice cream cone will be taken from whichever ingredient has the highest volume in the list of chemicals added to the cone. Play around with this, a suprising amount of different things can go into ice cream: drinks from the bartender, pure nutriment, ground plants (even ones that aren't particularly edible otherwise), medicines, poisons, even viruses via virus infused blood!
Condiment Maker
Found in the walk-in freezer, the Condiment Maker lets you isolate ingredients and components from ground food (created via the All-In-One Grinder) or other mixed liquids, and create bottles or single use condiment packets of said isolated ingredient. Almost anything can become a condiment, though more traditional condiments will have unique bottle or packet sprites (Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Hot or Cold Sauce, etc.)
