Overview

In-game description
Burned Deer Meat. Eating it will damage your health.

Cooking in the furnace feels like free food. The fire is burning for the ore anyway, so you toss the raw deer meat into a spare slot and head out. The catch is timing: a load of ore takes far longer than a steak, and the furnace has no idea the meat is done.

Watch out

Leave a furnace smelting overnight with meat in a slot and you wake up to burnt deer meat. Pull it on your next pass, or keep meat out of the furnace altogether.

Its own text says eating it damages your health. No recipe takes it and recycling gives nothing back. Give the meat a fire of its own, and the cooked deer meat comes out the way it should.
