How to Cook Meat in Minecraft

There are two benefits to cooking meat in Minecraft instead of eating it raw. The first one is that you won't get food poisoning, a status effect that will hurt your health and hunger bars, which is quite contrary to what you want. The second is that you gain more hunger bars after eating cooked meat rather than raw meat. Don't be stingy with your coal (or any other fuel) and start cooking the meat!
