When they arrive on the moon, they discover that the entire landscape is in fact made of cheese. They set up a picnic and sample some, but are unable to match its taste to any cheese they know Wallace thinks it tastes like Wensleydale, Stilton and Camembert. Looking for a different spot, they encounter The Cooker, a wheeled, mechanised, coinoperated device that resembles an oven and storage cabinet. Wallace inserts a 10pence coin, but nothing happens immediately only after he and Gromit have left does the Cooker spring to life, popping jointed arms out of its side panels. When it finds the picnic site, it becomes agitated and gathers up the dirty dishes finding a skiing magazine nearby, it develops a desire to travel to Earth and experience the sport. The Cooker glues a discarded spike of cheese back onto the spot from which Wallace cut it, issues a parking ticket for the rocket, and becomes annoyed by an oil leak from the craft.The Cooker spots Wallace and Gromit in the distance, Wallace having cut another spike of cheese, and sneaks up with a truncheon in hand. Before it can hit Wallace over the head, though, the money Wallace inserted runs out and it freezes in place. Wallace takes the truncheon as a souvenir, inserting anotherpence in exchange, and he and Gromit prepare to leave. Returning to life, the Cooker realizes that the rocket can take it to Earth and chases after them. Wallace panics, thinking that the Cooker is angry over the cheese he is taking with him, and he and Gromit prepare for an emergency liftoff. Unable to climb the rockets ladder, the Cooker cuts its way into the fuselage with a can opener, but accidentally spills and ignites the fuel. The resulting explosion blows it backward and allows Wallace and Gromit to lift off. The Cooker is left on the moon, with nothing but two strips of metal torn from the fuselage initially crushed by its failure to reach Earth, it fashions the strips into a pair of skis and is soon happily skiing across the
