Jasmine and Aladdin are undoubtedly stealing the spotlight with the *Tales of Agrabah* update in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*, but there’s a new item that could quietly become one of the most valuable additions to your gameplay experience — the Slow Cooker. While it may not sound as exciting as unlocking iconic Disney characters, this handy kitchen appliance streamlines meal preparation and saves you precious time. The only catch? It’s not something you can just stumble upon; you’ll need to complete a special quest to craft and use it. 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 wonders of Agrabah, make sure to visit Tiana, who plays a key role in unlocking the Slow Cooker. This quest begins with “Slow and Steady,” which becomes available once you’ve unlocked Tiana through the earlier “A Taste for Literature” questline introduced in 2024. If you’ve already completed that, simply head over to her location in the Valley and start the new quest.
Upon accepting the quest, Tiana will ask you to prepare Gumbo — a five-star meal that requires both ingredients and skill. Longtime players might already be familiar with the recipe, but if not, check your in-game recipe book. However, before you gather any ingredients, you must first craft the Slow Cooker itself.
Crafting the Slow Cooker in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Crafting the Slow Cooker is no small task — like many high-value items in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*, it requires specific materials. Before heading to the crafting station, ensure you have all the required components ready:
- 2 Tinkering Parts
- 6 Iron Ingots
- 20 Hardwood
- 2500 Dreamlight
Once you’ve gathered these resources, proceed to the crafting menu and create the Slow Cooker. With it now in your inventory, you’re one step closer to enjoying hands-off cooking.
How To Use the Slow Cooker in Disney Dreamlight Valley
After obtaining the Slow Cooker, place it somewhere convenient in your home or workshop — you’ll likely use it often. Unlike traditional cooking methods, the Slow Cooker allows you to prepare meals without constant supervision, giving you more time to explore or tackle other tasks within the game.
To complete Tiana’s quest, you’ll need to prepare Gumbo using the following ingredients:
- Chili Peppers
- Okra
- Onions
- Tomatoes
- Shrimp
Most of these ingredients (excluding shrimp) can either be purchased from Goofy’s shops or grown using seeds. Shrimp, however, requires a trip to Dazzle Beach. Look for blue ripples on the water surface — when they appear, cast your line quickly to catch some fresh shrimp.
Once all ingredients are collected, place them into the Slow Cooker and select the option to make three portions of Gumbo. The cooking process takes approximately 15 minutes, during which you’re free to engage in other activities — whether that’s completing quests, decorating your space, or diving into the *Tales of Agrabah* update.
And that’s it! You now know how to get and use the Slow Cooker in *Disney Dreamlight Valley*. Despite its humble appearance, this item adds a significant layer of convenience and efficiency to your daily gameplay — making it well worth the effort to obtain.
*Disney Dreamlight Valley is available for iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.*
