The hot new free-to-play title on PS4 and mobile devices, Genshin Impact, has exploded onto the gaming scene. The game has a beautiful art style and lots of mechanical depth. The characters and their interactions with combat is also really deep, thanks in no small part to the Elemental Reactions and other combat systems.
Gamers have also started uncovering other systems as well, like cooking. A big part of both the prep work for combat, as well as healing in battle, revolves around cooking. The healing and revival items are from cooking recipes in many cases, making memorizing this system vital to playing the game well. Players will encounter dozens of recipes with different effects, and some of them require you to process ingredients in Genshin Impact.
Only a certain number of ingredients need to be processed, but it adds an extra layer to the system. You might also want to take the time to check out our full guide to cooking in Genshin Impact to make sure you know what you’re doing.

You don’t need to find a smithy or oven to process ingredients in Genshin Impact, which makes it much easier to deal with. You just need to the right items and a certain amount of time. The ingredients will process in real-time, but the process moves to the background so you can keep playing. You will get a UI ping when the process is finished.
