How do you craft a Stone Oven, and what recipes can it make?

The Stone Oven is a late-game crafting station in Valheim that allows you to cook advanced food items, which are essential for surviving tougher biomes and boss fights. To craft a Stone Oven, you must first progress through the game and unlock the necessary materials and crafting stations. The Stone Oven requires a Forge to be built nearby, as well as specific materials: 15 Stone, 4 Iron, 4 Surtling Cores, and 1 Artisan Table. The Artisan Table is crafted using 10 Wood, 2 Dragon Tears, and 4 Fine Wood, and it unlocks advanced crafting options like the Stone Oven.\n\nTo begin crafting the Stone Oven, you must first gather the required materials. Stone is abundant and can be mined from rocks or gathered from the ground in most biomes. Iron is obtained by smelting Scrap Iron, which is found in Sunken Crypts within the Swamp biome. Surtling Cores are primarily found in Burial Chambers in the Black Forest or dropped by Surtlings in the Ashlands biome. Dragon Tears are obtained by defeating Moder, the fourth boss in the Mountains biome. Once you have all the materials, place the Artisan Table near your Forge and interact with it to craft the Stone Oven.\n\nThe Stone Oven is used to cook advanced recipes that provide significant health and stamina boosts. Some of the key recipes include Bread, Lox Meat Pie, and Fish Wraps. Bread requires Barley Flour, which is made by processing Barley in a Windmill. Barley is grown in the Plains biome, so you’ll need to establish a farm there. Lox Meat Pie requires Lox Meat, Barley Flour, and Cloudberries, all of which are found in the Plains biome. Fish Wraps require Cooked Fish, Barley Flour, and a Dandelion, making them a versatile food option.\n\nOne common challenge players face is gathering enough Iron for the Stone Oven. To efficiently farm Iron, explore multiple Sunken Crypts in the Swamp biome and bring a Bronze or Iron Pickaxe to break Muddy Scrap Piles. Use a Cart or Portal to transport the Scrap Iron back to your base for smelting. Another challenge is surviving the Plains biome to gather Barley and Cloudberries. Equip yourself with upgraded armor, strong weapons, and high-tier food before venturing into the Plains, as the enemies there are extremely dangerous.\n\nTo maximize the Stone Oven’s potential, build it near your other crafting stations, such as the Forge and Windmill, to streamline your cooking process. Keep a steady supply of Barley and other ingredients by establishing a farm in the Plains biome. Use the Stone Oven to prepare food before exploring dangerous areas or fighting bosses, as the advanced recipes provide significant buffs that can make a huge difference in combat.\n\nIn summary, the Stone Oven is a powerful crafting station that unlocks advanced cooking recipes in Valheim. To craft it, gather Stone, Iron, Surtling Cores, and Dragon Tears, and build an Artisan Table near a Forge. Use the Stone Oven to cook high-tier food like Bread, Lox Meat Pie, and Fish Wraps, which are essential for late-game survival. Overcome challenges like Iron farming and Plains exploration by preparing thoroughly and using efficient strategies. With the Stone Oven, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle Valheim’s toughest challenges.
