Yeah, it's known to use f.e. bones to create 8 sealoafs, so that you can't cook more by accident. Alec is thinking to remove it, though. 
it would be a good idea to remove or adjust that exploit somehow. I felt as though that I pressed the recipe button, but since it was using all in game mechanics it was a a game exploit or glitch not a hack. I found it in the veil so was using copious amounts of oil to make loafs instead of bones, as still using those for testing
was this an oversight or intentionally left in during the latest patch? I still use it in my latest session and it's a guarantee that I don't waste any precious items trying to make that elusive pie or whatever but it feels like I'm working the system.
I started cooking those few weird recipies that I didn't come across the first time as soon as possible and it's very interesting to see how that affects the priority system of what gets alloted where. mmm precious jelly oil....
