These "food values" measure how plentifully an ingredient can fulfill a recipe's need for certain food groups, plays in and only in Crock Pot.. Combined ingredients' food values (in addition to recipe priority) are what determine an attempt's final dish; for example: Honey Ham requires a meat value greater than or equal to 2.0, so in addition to Honey, its ingredients can be 3 Jerky; 2 Jerky & 1 filler; or 1 Jerky & 2 Drumsticks, but 1 Jerky, 1 Drumstick, & 1 filler won't cut it.

The overall set of food values for an attempted dish is the sum of its individual ingredient values. In attempting a dish like , the component values are:

• +1 meat, +1 monster
• +1 meat
• +1 meat
• +0.5 fruit

When added up, the final dish's set of values will be 3.0 meat, 1.0 monster, and 0.5 fruit. resulting in Meaty Stew.

Some ingredients value for two food groups; for example: raw Tropical Fish provides 1.0 fish unit & 0.5 meat units (though Cooked Fish Morsel provides 0.5 fish units & no meat units).

There are 13 basic Meat food items in-game. There is one additional Meat in the Reign of Giants DLC, 11 additional Meats in the Shipwrecked DLC, two additional Meats in the Hamlet DLC, and eight additional Meats in Don't Starve Together. Most meats are dropped by Mobs as loot, and fish can also be obtained from Ponds with a Fishing Rod. If a mob dies from burning, the cooked variant of meat will be dropped instead (if available). Many of the meats can be dried on a Drying Rack, resulting in Jerky, a much longer-lasting food item with different Hunger, Sanity, and Health bonuses.

Mobs such as Pigs, Spiders or Hounds will eat any form of dropped meat on the ground, including Pig Skins. Additionally, Bunnymen will be aggressive towards the player if they have any item on this list.

There are two additional recipes in the Reign of Giants DLC, four additional recipes in the Shipwrecked DLC, three additional recipes in the Hamlet DLC, and one additional recipe in Don't Starve Together.
