How to cook

  • Cuisines: each cuisine stocks the kitchen with its own ingredients. Pick one at the top of the menu.
  • Drag food and containers around. Pans, pots, plates and bowls live on the wall โ€” drag them down to the counter or the stove.
  • Pour by holding a jar, bottle or container over another container. Pouring starts after a moment; let go when you have enough. The amount is shown as you pour.
  • Eggs: drop one into a bowl or pan, then click it to crack it. A boiled egg can be clicked to peel.
  • Utensils hang on the wall. Click one to pick it up, then: spoon / whisk โ€” hold the mouse on a pot or bowl to stir or whisk ยท spatula โ€” click food in a pan to flip it, hold to stir ยท tasting spoon โ€” click a dish to taste it ยท ladle โ€” click a pot or bowl to scoop, then click (or drag to) where it should go: a pot of soup gives a bowlful, a thick batter or curd dough gives one dollop, so you can fry syrnyky or deruny side by side or drop dumplings into boiling water ยท knife (on the cutting board) โ€” click or hold on food on the board; more chops = finer pieces. Right-click or Esc puts it down.
  • Stove: click the right half of a knob to turn the heat up, the left half to turn it down (or scroll).
  • Sink: put a pot in the sink and click the tap to fill it. Hold a pot over the empty sink to drain the liquid โ€” the solids stay in.
  • Toaster: drop bread in, press the lever. The dial sets how dark.
  • Mixing: whisking a bowl turns liquids, powders, cracked eggs and anything grated or minced into one batter.
  • Compost: drop food on it, or drop a container on it to empty it.
  • Serve: put the finished dish on the serving tray and ring the bell. Your guest only judges the food โ€” not the steps you took.
  • Hover over anything to see what it is, how hot it is and how cooked it is. Use the time buttons to speed up waiting.
