Bonfire grilles can't interact with the new cooking system (
see here) from the place of a range, but still interact with its cooking methods for simple 1 to 2 heat-up meals of objects like meat, doughs sit on it lifelessly. Id argue it either needs to do it all or have the tribal cooking methods diversified as its impossible to create simple bread or pizza flatbreads without a oven circuitboard and the energy to run it, both of which don't work in emergency or even ghetto situations you'd be cooking this way.
There's also no way to procure the specific instruments for soup-making (ladels, non-autolathe spoons, the pots for cooking at ranges) from material-crafting or specifically the autolathe so it also remains largely ambigious for self-styled cooks. (example, bored podpeople want to try recipies, and use the biogen for flour, cheese, tofu and can't even bake bread)
