History VideoGame / CookingSimulator

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The game actually uses its own proprietary physics engine instead of using realistic physics. Round objects that would normally stop rolling due to friction can keep going and even holing a large and flat object like a cutting board with one hand will still hold it perfectly straight and objects will not roll or fall from it.

* {{Pyromaniac}}: There is ''nothing'' to stop you from setting the kitchen on fire. In fact you can do it easily with a few of your cooking tools such as the torch. With little to no effort the entire kitchen can wind up ablaze, but it does have a fire protection system that will activate ''RealityEnsues/much like a real restaurant kitchen''

* StuffBlowingUp: The torch and the propane tanks in the original game can explode much as they would in real life if heated in the oven, on the stove, in the microwave, or even in the gas cooker. The Chaos Tool adds a firecracker launcher.

* GravotyMaster: The Gravity Gun in the Chaos Tool which can reverse the effect of gravity on any object that it shoots.

* ShrinkRay: The Scale Gun in Chaos Mode which is ''both'' a shrink ray but ''also'' a grow ray!

** The game advertises the ability to "go crazy and just throw knives around the kitchen". There is even a dartboard in the corner of the kitchen to hit with you knives.

* NoFairCheating: You get ''far'' lower points from customers if you cook food in the microwave, with the customer remarking that it tasted like it was cooked in a microwave.

The game also has had several DLC packs released. ''Pizza!'' puts the player in the kitchen of a pizzeria and allows them to specifically cook pizza. ''Cakes & Cookies'' puts the player into a bakery kitchen to focus on baking recipes like cookies, cakes, and breads. ''Cooking with Creator/FoodNetwork'' puts the player into a large kitchen that is actually a TV Studio, has recipes created by actual Food Network chefs, and includes a Contest Mode where the player can cook alongside them. '' The newest one called ''Shelter'' takes place in a post-apocalyptical future and features recipes based on new and unknown ingredients along with a new Career Mode that has the player working to contact a long-lost family. One of the DLC features is a Chaos Tool which allows the player to mess with food and items in a dangerous way.

* HolidayMode: The Winter Holidays update decorates the kitchen for Christmas and has a new series of recipes to make for a group of people such as a whole turkey.

* Lampshade Hanging: In Cooking School mode during the kitchen tour course the game shows that there is a microwave in the kitchen but tells the player to just stay away from it before wondering what it's even doing in the kitchen of a restaurant.

* EasyModeMockery: There is a microwave in the kitchen which can be used to cook or even finish a meal but doing this in Career Mode will dock points with the customer claiming to food looked and tasted like it was cooked in a microwave. The game lampshades this in the Cooking School Mode by saying a few times that no self-respecting restaurant kitchen would ''ever'' have a microwave in it.

''Cooking Simulator'' uses a physics engine and cooking mechanics to allow the player to cook over 80 recipes by using over 140 ingredients. The game's main two modes are Career Mode and Sandbox Mode. In Career Mode the player takes the role of a chef working in a restaurant and has to prepare and cook orders according to customers' requests. Doing a good job earns the player experience points and fame as well as the ability to prepare and cook more complex recopies. In Sandbox Mode, the player is placed in a kitchen that is already fully equipped and gives them unlimited time and no instructions to follow. The game also has an online competition mode where multiple players can compete to cook the same recipe.
