Stewing Pot
The Stewing Pot is an indispensable block used for mass food production and needed for many other kinds of heat-based crafting, such at tanning, alchemy and textile processing.
A Stewing Pot requires fire in the block directly underneath in order to function. Production rates are accelerated by the addition of more fire adjacent to the principal flame, with the maximum rate achieved with fires lit in the entire 3x3 area underneath. Netherrack or Hibachis are natural choices to provide fire, though any flame will serve in a pinch.
It should be noted that more advanced reactions like rendering into glue require the flames underneath the Stewing Pot to be stoked, which is only possible with Hibachis. Reactions requiring a regular flame, such as cooking, will not proceed when it is heated by a stoked flame. Likewise, one should exercise care when processing Hellfire Dust, lest one discovers the effects of stoking a Stewing Pot containing such dust...
The Stewing Pot can be tipped by application of mechanical power. When tipped, all items in the Stewing Pot (except possibly those on the bottom row) will spill onto the block clockwise along - when facing the pot - the axle proving power to the Stewing Pot.
