A Dented Unlabeled Can of Food is a battered tin with its label gone. What is inside stays a mystery until the can is opened. It is sealed, so the food inside keeps until then.
The can weighs 0.8, which makes it one of the heavier food items to carry. It needs a Can Opener, a sharp knife or a Chipped Stone to open. Dented cans turn up mostly in hoarder kitchens, military crates and survivor safehouses, and they also come six to a box.
Eating
The can has to be opened before anything in it can be eaten. Since the label is gone, the meal inside is a gamble.
Cooking
Opening the can is the main step. The Open Dented Unlabeled Can recipe uses a Can Opener, which is kept. The Open Dented Unlabeled Can with Blade recipe uses a sharp knife instead, which is also kept. A Chipped Stone works as well, so even a stone tool will do.
Six cans can be packed into a Box of Dented Unlabeled Cans of Food with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. The Open Box of Canned Food recipe reverses this and gives the six cans back.

Locations
Dented cans are an uncommon find. Hoarder kitchen counters hold them about half the time, which makes hoarder homes the best place to look. Military crates hold one a little over a fifth of the time. Survivor safehouse counters and bins turn them up now and then, as do old army counters. House kitchens rarely carry them.
