Detailed 2-player restaurant-kitchen simulator. Chop, fry, plate — while the dishwasher explodes and the oil catches fire. Less arcade than Overcooked, funnier than it has any right to be.

About the Game
Welcome to the ultimate kitchen playground for players who want skill, freedom, and a little bit of chaos.
Cooking Simulator gives you full control of a pro-level kitchen packed with tools, ingredients, and physics-driven systems that make every action feel alive. Learn the craft, chase perfection, or set everything on fire just to see what happens.
YOUR KITCHEN, YOUR RULES
This is your full chef arsenal: ovens, grills, gas burners, pots, pans, plates, knives, blenders, mixers, and more. Stock your pantry with over 140 ingredients including meats, fish, veggies, fruits, dairy, oils, liquids, herbs, and spices.
Everything reacts to your hands. Heat it, cool it, slice it, spill it, burn it, break it. If you can try it in a real kitchen, you can pull it off here.
REAL PHYSICS. REAL COOKING. REAL CHAOS.
Every move matters. Pouring soup, flipping steaks, cutting vegetables, tossing ingredients, or knocking something off the counter all play out with real physics.
Go for perfect execution or create the kind of disasters only a videogame kitchen can survive.
CHOOSE YOUR PLAYSTYLECareer Mode
Build your reputation from the ground up. Learn techniques, unlock 80+ recipes, improve your timing, speed, and consistency, and grow your restaurant’s fame. Pick perks and skills that fit your cooking style and become a kitchen legend.
Sandbox Mode
No pressure. No rules. Infinite freedom.
Mess around with every tool, recipe, and ingredient right away. Build dishes, run experiments, or push the physics engine to absolute chaos.
