I haven’t played since this was added, so I don’t know what to do.

Either A - using a pot/frying pan to “heat something up” through the action menu, or, more slowly, by simply having the items in an enclosed space with a fire for a few minutes.

There are also heat packs to do the job, but they are single use, just so you know.
