Vegetable Oil is a bottle of cooking oil used for frying and baking. It is a spice in savoury dishes and a baking fat for cakes, cookies, biscuits and muffins. Drinking it straight is a miserable experience, so it belongs in the kitchen.
Vegetable oil keeps without spoiling, which makes it a reliable store. It is found in almost every restaurant kitchen, and it can also be pressed from Seed Paste on a Hand-Operated Press. 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
Drinking vegetable oil lowers hunger by 30 and raises unhappiness by 50. That mood cost is severe. The bottle holds 2120 calories, all of it fat, with 130 grams of lipids.
Those calories could rescue a starving, underweight character. In any other case the unhappiness is far too high a price. Used in cooking, the oil adds its value to dishes without the mood loss of drinking it neat.
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
Vegetable oil counts as a spice in evolved dishes. A spice sits outside the dish's ingredient limit, so it adds to a meal on top of the main ingredients. It adds 5 hunger to Soup and Stew. It adds 2 to Sandwich, Burger, Rice, Pasta, Stir Fry, Salad, Taco and Burrito.
The oil is also a baking fat. Make Cake Batter, Prepare Biscuits and Prepare Muffins all accept it. So do the cookie recipes for Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Cookies and Sugar Cookies.
A new bottle can be made with the Press Oil recipe. It takes 30 portions of Seed Paste on a Hand-Operated Press, with an Oil Press, a Stone Block and a Cheese Cloth, all of which are kept.
These dishes take the Vegetable Oil as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
Vegetable oil keeps indefinitely, so a bottle can sit in a cupboard for as long as needed. A shelf at room temperature keeps it just as well as a fridge.
Locations
Vegetable oil is a very common find in restaurant kitchens. Arena kitchens, deep fry kitchens, fish and chips kitchens and Jay's Chicken kitchens always hold it in their storage. Donut shop storage holds it most of the time. Chinese, diner and Mexican kitchens hold it more than half the time. Counters in cafeteria, Gigamart, restaurant and Spiffo's kitchens hold it about one time in five. General store shelves and bakeries carry it now and then.
