Once an item is cooked perfectly enough times, proficiency will max out and Auto Cook will be unlocked for that dish, which allows up to 99 of a single type of food to be cooked at once. Auto Cook cannot be cancelled and will always produce a Delicious version of that item.

Preground pepper quickly loses its complex aromatic flavors—well before it makes it into your hands—leaving it with just a hot spicy kick but none of the subtlety of peppercorns.
