LEGO Fortnite made its debut in Fortnite’s new chapter – Chapter 5, Season 1. The newest survival crafting game mode lets players play as LEGO Minifig versions of their favorite Fortnite characters, as they set out to build their village.
Cooking your own food is a game-changer in survival games, such as LEGO Fortnite. Players need to learn how to cook food to manage their hunger levels. Besides that, food provides healing and gives unique stat buffs to the character. It’s recommended that players carry enough meals with them if they plan on exploring areas away from their village.

How to Cook Food in LEGO Fortnite
Cooking in LEGO Fortnite is quite simple; players only need access to a cooking station and have the necessary ingredients for a recipe. As players explore more areas and discover new resources, they will be able to unlock new cooking recipes.
Building a Grill
The Grill is the first cooking station players can create in LEGO Fortnite. It is available in the Utility section of a Crafting Bench. A Grill can be crafted using 30 pieces of Granite. This simple crafting recipe is available early on in the game. Players can collect granites by breaking down large rocks with a Pickaxe or collecting small stones found scattered throughout the biomes.
The table below contains a list of all meals that can be cooked using a Grill along with their necessary ingredients.
| Meal | Ingredients | Buffs |
| Grilled Meat | 1 Meat | Heals 2 Hearts Restores 8 Hunger points |
| Corn on the Cob | 1 Corn | Heals 3 Hearts Restores 5 Hunger points Increases Stamina regen for 2 minutes |
| Fried Egg | 2 Eggs | Heals 5 Hearts Restores 8 Hunger points Increases Stamina regen for 2 minutes |
| Spicy Burger | 1 Spicy Pepper, 1 Meat, 1 Flour | Adds 4 Bonus Hearts Restores 10 Hunger points Increases cold resistance for 10 minutes |
Cooking a Meal
All meals in LEGO Fortnite require certain ingredients. For instance, meat can be obtained by attacking any random chickens or sheep in an area, while corn can simply be gathered by rummaging through nearby bushes. Players can get eggs by simply petting chickens.
To cook any meal, players just need to deposit the necessary ingredients into the grill and wait for it to be prepared. After it’s done, players can take the food out and place it in their action bar to eat it. Consuming the meal allows players to enjoy its unique buffs.
