How to Cook Grenades

Hold Down the Lethal Equipment Button Before Throwing

Cooking a grenade involves pulling the pin of a Frag Grenade or a Thermobaric Grenade, and holding it for a few seconds before tossing it. Delaying when you throw the grenade shortens the time it explodes, giving your enemies less time to react and return it.

Out of all the Lethal Equipment in Modern Warfare 3, only the Frag Grenade and the Thermobaric Grenade can be cooked.

Tactical equipment cannot be cooked as they are mostly used for utility. Grenades like the Stun Grenade and Flash Grenade have a fixed time before detonation when thrown.

Cooking Time Differences

There is no ideal cooking time for grenades as it depends on the distance of the target and situation. Sometimes you'll want a longer delay to bank a grenade, other times you'll want it to explode with minimal delay.

You can also use the in-game timer for a rough estimation when cooking grenades.

Explosion Delay Cooking Time

Explodes on Self
