This page covers the confirmed pie mechanics and sell prices, ingredient sources, and which meats stack the highest cash per round.

Pie pricing is non-linear. A one-ingredient Savory Meat Pie sells for $11. A six-ingredient Savory Meat Pie sells for $55 — exactly 5x. There is no scenario in Bake or Die where 1-ingredient pies are worth baking once you have enough meat for full pies.

How the 6-slot pie system works

Every pie tray has six slots. You drag ingredients into the slots, then bake. The Bake or Die bake process is mostly instant — only the oven step takes real time. While the oven cooks, run the Bake or Die grinder on more corpses to prep the next batch.

1 slot filled = base meat pie, $11 sell price in Bake or Die.
6 slots filled = $55 sell price (5x the 1-slot pie).
Mix premium meat with regular meat → higher base price + special effect (e.g. explosive pies).

Spoiled corpses in Bake or Die produce nothing. Grind them before they rot or you waste a night's worth of meat.
