As the player's cooking level increases, they can use pieces of raw bacon on other pieces in their inventory to create larger piles of bacon that can be cooked together to heal more per inventory slot. Cooked bacon cannot be used for this purpose. This is also useful for players farming pig teeth, as they can free up inventory space without dropping items. Additionally, four pieces of raw bacon can be used to brew pigswill, and when cooked, is the main ingredient of pork pie.
