A Beef Patty is a round of raw ground beef, shaped for a burger. It weighs 0.3 and must be cooked before it is safe to eat. Once cooked, it is a filling meal on its own or the heart of a home-made burger.
Beef Patties spoil very fast, so they should be cooked or frozen soon after they are found. They are very common in fast food kitchens, butcher shops and home stoves. They can also be made from Ground Beef. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A cooked Beef Patty lowers hunger by 40. It holds 612 calories, with 46 grams of protein and 30 grams of fat. That makes it a rich meat for keeping body weight up.
Raw patties are dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. They must be cooked first.
A patty tastes better hot and worse cold, so it is best eaten straight from the pan. A cut of Beef lowers hunger by 80 but holds only 440 calories. The patty fills less but carries more energy for its weight.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A Beef Patty takes 50 minutes to cook and burns after 70. An oven or a fire suits it best. It does badly in a microwave and comes out less pleasant to eat.

The Make Meat Patty recipe shapes 40 units of Ground Beef into one patty. A patty can also be added to fishing chum, where it adds 30.

Notes

- A patty carries more calories than a cut of Beef, though it fills less.
- Avoid the microwave, since patties do badly in one.
