Jasmine and Aladdin may be grabbing the spotlight with the *Tales of Agrabah* update in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*, but one of the most valuable additions might just fly under the radar—the Slow Cooker. This handy new tool allows players to prepare meals without constant supervision, making cooking more efficient than ever. However, acquiring it isn't quite as simple as browsing a shop. Here's everything you need to know about how to get and use the Slow Cooker in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*.
How to Get the Slow Cooker in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Before exploring the new Agrabah content, make sure to visit Tiana in the Valley. She offers a special quest called “Slow and Steady” that unlocks access to the Slow Cooker. This quest becomes available once you've completed Tiana’s previous storyline, “A Taste for Literature,” which was introduced in 2024. If you’ve already unlocked Tiana, simply speak with her to begin the new task.
Once you accept the quest, Tiana will ask you to prepare Gumbo—a five-star meal. While seasoned players may already have the recipe, newcomers will need to obtain it from the in-game Recipe Book. However, before you can start cooking, you must first craft the Slow Cooker itself.
Crafting the Slow Cooker in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Like many essential tools in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*, the Slow Cooker requires a crafting process that demands specific resources. Before heading to your crafting station, ensure you have all the necessary materials:
- 2 Tinkering Parts
- 6 Iron Ingots
- 20 Hardwood Logs
- 2500 Dreamlight
Collect these items and craft the Slow Cooker at your workstation. Once crafted, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
How to Use the Slow Cooker in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Now that you’ve added the Slow Cooker to your inventory, place it somewhere convenient in your home or kitchen area. It's a versatile appliance you'll want to use often beyond this initial quest.
To complete Tiana’s request, gather the ingredients needed to make Gumbo:
- Chili Peppers
- Okra
- Onions
- Tomatoes
- Shrimp
Most of these ingredients (except Shrimp) can be purchased from Goofy’s shops or grown using Seeds. To acquire Shrimp, travel to Dazzle Beach and go fishing. Keep an eye out for blue ripples on the water—when they appear, cast your line quickly to catch some Shrimp.
Once you have all the ingredients, place them into the Slow Cooker and choose to cook three portions of Gumbo. The total cooking time is approximately 15 minutes. During this time, you're free to explore other areas of the game or continue engaging with the *Tales of Agrabah* update.
After the meal is done, return to Tiana and deliver the Gumbo to complete the quest. You’ll now have full access to the Slow Cooker, allowing you to prepare meals hands-free anytime you'd like.
And that’s it—you now know how to get and use the Slow Cooker in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference in gameplay efficiency, especially as more content like the *Tales of Agrabah* update continues to expand the world.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available on iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
