Cooking & restaurants
Cook real dishes at cooking stations, level up as a Chef, take delivery orders and even run your own restaurant. Type /cooking to open the cooking menu and recipe book.
Stations
| Station | Used for |
|---|---|
| Cooking Pot | Soups, stews and anything stirred |
| Oven | Roasts and baked dishes |
| Grill | Grilled meat and veg |
| Cutting Board | Chopping and prep |
| Bakery Oven | Bread, cakes and pastries |
Right-click a station with the ingredients to start cooking. Take the food out when it's ready, or it'll burn.
Cooking minigames
Each time you cook, the station gives you a quick challenge. Get it right and your dish comes out Perfect, worth more XP. Missing it never ruins the food.
| Challenge | What to do |
|---|---|
| Flip, Stir, Turn, Season, Cover, Glaze | It glows yellow: click once |
| Chop, Heat, Pour, Decorate | A marker slides back and forth: click when it's on green |
| Whisk, Knead, Dice, Fan, Roll, Pound | It glows yellow: click fast to fill the bar |
| Sparks, Bubbles, Sprinkles | Things pop up: click them before they vanish |
Harder recipes add twists: something glows red before yellow (wait for it), the green area jumps around, the bar drains if you slow down, or burnt bits pop up that you shouldn't click.
