Ready to take your cooking skills to the next level? When you start the game, Cooking Simulator’s mechanics can be a bit of a learning curve. Once you finally understand how crucial it is to use the proper mixing attachment for baking cookies, it’s time to upgrade your skills. With so many to unlock, it can get confusing on which best benefits the kitchen.
That’s why we’re here to help turn up the heat. With these skills, you’ll have your kitchen running at five-star quality in no time.
10 Such A Thing As ‘Too Cool’
- Products lose their temperature 2/3/4 times slower.
There are a lot of variables you can control in the kitchen. That is until the urgency to push out food quickly comes into play. It may be manageable with simple recipes, but eventually, you may have trouble prioritizing more complex dishes.
Slower Cooling is essential for helping achieve the best food rating; it allows more grace time for food to sit around, so you can better cash in on the hottest of meals.
9 This One Is Too Hot
- Products need 2/3/4 times longer to burn.
Congratulations, you didn’t burn the food! Mama will be so proud. Whether it’s on the dumbwaiter or the stove, leaving food around the kitchen is something chefs will want to avoid.
Rarely will you have to worry about a table’s entrée going up in flames with the Slower Burn skill. While it may preserve the food, the quality won’t be the best – which damages your score. However, it’s still better than starting over. There are other skills that will make up for lower-grade meals.
8 Preparation, Done Just Right
- The duration of the preparation phase is extended by 20/40/60 percent
You never can be too prepared. Most beginners tend to skip over the preparation phase. As time goes on, this phase becomes more vital for running a successful shift. When more complex recipes need to be made, it saves time during the dinner rush to not purchase ingredients or make simple broths.
Extended Preparation Phase helps ensure that you run a tight ship and decrease the likelihood of mess-ups while under pressure.
7 No Time For Repairs
- Equipment breaks down 10%/20%/50% slower.
Sometimes, accidents happen. However, some incidents are preventable. Over time, you’ll notice your appliances will begin to deteriorate with use.
In the heat of the moment, performing repairs can prevent you from getting food out on time. Skip the hassle altogether (and the unnecessary repair expenses) by upgrading the Durable Equipment skill to allow your poor, overworked microwave a longer shelf life.
6 A Taste For Mediocre
- Dish tolerance is increased by 10%/20%/50%
Who says you must be the best chef in town to make good food? It takes time to go from home cook to master chef. This is why some of your first finished products, won’t be too appetizing, but don’t let that hold you back from greatness.
Taste Tolerance allows customers to be much more understanding of unsatisfactory meals. It’s a great way to make money early game and buys you sympathy when more challenging recipes start coming your way.
5 Impress The Best
- Derpers and Gourmets have their expectations lowered by 10%/20%/50%
During ‘special events’ you’ll have the opportunity to serve V.I.Ps, who will want faster meals at a higher quality. A successful event means a huge boost to your experience points, accumulating even more money and fame in the process.
Since these guests’ standards are higher than your average diner's, you have a better chance of getting on their good side by unlocking the Easier Events skill.
4 So Much Time
- Serve time for dishes is extended by 10%/20%/40%
The quality of the dish isn’t the only factor that pleases customers, it’s also how fast you deliver. The best chefs can create fresh meals and have them out in seconds; the reward for achieving both is well worth it.
To further increase your fame and income, unlock Extended Dish Timers to buy more time in the cooking phase for each order that comes in.
3 It’s A Living
- Guests pay 10%/30%/50% more for their meals without affecting the score

2 Cooking For Keeps
