How to make food in LEGO Fortnite
click to enlargeYou'll need to use one of three stations to cook a meal in LEGO Fortnite. Depending on your resources and the ingredients you've collected by exploring the map, you can choose which one works best for you. Here are the structures you can build to cook food:
- Grill
- Juicer
- Oven
Depending on the dish you want to cook, you will need different ingredients. The more sophisticated the dish, the rarer the ingredients you will need, so never throw away food you find. Instead, it's much better to keep it in storage until you discover a recipe where that particular ingredient is required.
Grill
The grill is the best choice for beginners because it requires minimal resources to craft. Additionally, you can't cook the best dishes here, but you can still get better quality food which is always useful when you need to restore health when tackling the Brute.

Juicer
The juicer is a useful item because you can create drinks from ingredients that are incredibly easy to find as you explore. You can make a huge berry farm and grow them to have an endless supply of juice.
