Cauldron Possibilities

Okay, hear this crazy idea out. The ability to cook stews or soups in a cauldron with a heat source underneath it.

I feel that the cauldrons in Minecraft are kinda limited. On Bedrock, they can dye leather armor which I thought was a much smarter system for dyeing in Minecraft. But in general, they don't have much. Sure they can collect powder snow and lava, but once again. Limited.

I was thinking that someone could put a campfire or some other heat source underneath the Cauldron to heat the liquid inside. You could use this function to make stew/soups in Minecraft, it not only would make the cauldron more useful, but it'd just be a fun feature.

  i thought of basiclly the same thing but instead of soup it makes jam with sweet/glow berries and sugar and it can be collected with a bottle and be put on bread to add more saturation. idk it just seemed kinda cool

  Been thinking about this too.

  I'd be awesome if there was a wooden ladle when cauldrons boil to stir it with. :)
  Perhaps the stews can be crafted by dropping 1-3 ingredients into the boiling cauldron.
  This means food can last three times longer if you have enough bowls and storage space.
  I don't think stews should combine hunger and saturation points but instead use the highest stats from the array.

  I imagine potion ingredients and suspicious stew flowers may also play a part in this.
  Stew-ing potion ingredients shouldn't get you far but maybe ten seconds per ingredient.
  I think other stew-ed food items like golden apples, rotten flesh & spider eyes should be exempt from this rule and apply as usual.

  I think if the stew has no nutritional value; It should become tea instead, witch can be collected in a bottle for... more storage? I'm not sure if thats still happening but it would look super cool.

  As for milk;
  It'd be great to free up one bucket into three bottle of milk if your low on iron.
  Alas. I don't have a good answer as to how milk could be introduced but if I do; I will return!
