Hare Meat in Valheim: Drop Rates, the Cooking Station Recipe, and What Cooked Hare Meat Gives You
Hare Meat is a Material-type item the Valheim wiki describes as "The meat of a hare is scant but toothsome." Per the item's own infobox, it's listed with a source of Hare, a usage of Cooking station, Food preparation table, a weight of 1.0, a stack size of 20, and a teleport flag of "Yes." Cooking it turns it into Cooked hare meat — or, per the source, into Coal if left on too long.
What Hare Meat Is
The infobox for the raw item lists these fields directly:
- Type: Material
- Source: Hare
- Usage: Cooking station, Food preparation table
- Weight: 1.0
- Stack size: 20
- Teleportable: Yes
A full stack of 20 Hare Meat, at 1.0 weight each, comes to 1.0 × 20 = 20.0 total weight — arithmetic on the item's own two fields, not an estimate. Its own teleport flag is listed as "Yes."
This item's page does not classify or locate Hare beyond naming it as the source creature — where it's found isn't part of this data set.
Where Hare Meat Drops
The Availability section lists Hare Meat drop counts from a single source creature, Hare, broken out by star tier:
| Star tier | Hare Meat dropped |
|---|---|
| 0-star | 1 |
| 1-star | 2 |
| 2-star | 4 |
The drop count doubles at each star tier — 1, then 2, then 4 — per the source's own table.
Filling a full stack of 20 Hare Meat, computed directly from these drop counts: a 0-star Hare (1 each) takes 20 ÷ 1 = 20 kills; a 1-star Hare (2 each) takes 20 ÷ 2 = 10 kills; a 2-star Hare (4 each) takes 20 ÷ 4 = 5 kills.
Cooking and Crafting With Hare Meat
The source's Usage section lists these crafting outputs for Hare Meat:
- Cooked hare meat
- Coal, if left on a Cooking station for too long
- Misthare supreme (from Uncooked misthare supreme)
- Meat platter (from Uncooked meat platter)
The source also states plainly: "Cooked hare meat cannot be used to craft recipes using Hare meat as ingredient." That's quoted as written — once Hare Meat is cooked, the source treats it as a separate ingredient line, not an interchangeable substitute for the raw item in these recipes.
The raw item's own usage field additionally lists a Food preparation table alongside the Cooking station, matching this crafting list — the source doesn't break down which specific step happens at which station beyond naming both.
The wiki's Notes field adds two items worth quoting directly. On Misthare supreme: "provides the highest amount of Health of all food items in the Mistlands, and requires only easily-farmable Jotun puffs and Carrots in addition to the Hare meat." That's the source's own claim about that downstream recipe, not a comparison this article is making. Separately, on where the item can turn up outside a kill: "The spike defences outside dvergr fortifications sometimes collect quantities of hare meat and scale hide from hares that inadvertently collide with them."
Cooked Hare Meat: Food Stats
Cooking Hare Meat at a Cooking station uses exactly Hare meat x1 as the listed material. The cooked item carries its own description, quoted as written: "Stringy but flavorful." Its own infobox lists:
- Type: Food
- Source: Cooking station
- Usage: Eating
- Weight: 1.0
- Stack size: 20
- Teleportable: Yes
- Health: 60
- Stamina: 20
- Duration: 1200 (seconds)
- Healing: 5 hp/tick
1200 seconds is 1200 ÷ 60 = 20 minutes of buff uptime from a single serving of Cooked Hare Meat — computed from the item's own duration field. The cooked item's weight, stack size, and teleport flag (1.0, 20, and "Yes") match the raw item's own fields, per the same infobox data. The source does not give an explicit output-quantity field for the cook, so whether one raw Hare Meat yields more than one Cooked Hare Meat is undocumented here.
Practical tips
- Raw Hare Meat weighs 1.0 each; a full stack of 20 comes to 20.0 total (1.0 × 20, computed).
- Hare drops 1 / 2 / 4 Hare Meat at 0-/1-/2-star, doubling each tier per the source's own table.
- Filling a stack of 20 takes 20 kills of a 0-star Hare, 10 of a 1-star Hare, or 5 of a 2-star Hare (computed).
- Cooking uses Hare meat x1; overcooking it produces Coal instead. The output quantity per cook isn't stated in this data set.
- Cooked Hare Meat cannot be used again as an ingredient in Hare-meat recipes, per the source's own wording.
- Beyond cooking, Hare Meat also feeds Misthare supreme and Meat platter recipes, per the source's Usage list.
- Cooked Hare Meat gives 60 health, 20 stamina, for 1200 seconds (20 minutes), healing at 5 hp/tick.
- Both the raw and cooked item are flagged teleportable ("Yes").
Running your own Valheim server
Farming a specific star tier of Hare for a full stack of Hare Meat goes faster with a group splitting the kills, and a Cooking station or Food preparation table's queue empties a lot quicker when several players are feeding it at once. A dedicated Valheim server keeps that station, its fuel, and your world's Hare spawns persistent between sessions, with launch arguments, PvP settings, and any mod configuration staying exactly as your group left them.
Conclusion
Hare Meat is a Material-type item sourced from Hare, weighing 1.0 with a 20-item stack (20.0 total for a full stack, computed) and a teleport flag of "Yes." Its drop count doubles by star tier — 1, 2, then 4 — meaning a full stack takes anywhere from 5 kills of a 2-star Hare up to 20 kills of a 0-star Hare, computed directly from those figures. Cooking it at a Cooking station turns Hare meat x1 into Cooked Hare Meat, or Coal if left too long; the exact output quantity per cook isn't given in this data set. Beyond cooking, the source lists Hare Meat feeding into Misthare supreme and Meat platter as well, with Cooked Hare Meat itself locked out of further Hare-meat recipes per the source's own wording. The cooked result delivers 60 health and 20 stamina for 1200 seconds (20 minutes), healing at 5 hp/tick, and it too is flagged teleportable.
