Let's break down how to make the most of this delicious update.

How to Excel in the Cooking Event

The Cooking Event is the heart of the Kitchen Storm, where you craft dishes to satisfy Chris P. Bacon's hourly cravings. Here's the recipe for success:

1. Find Chris P. Bacon: He's stationed at the map's center near the Cooking Pot, with his cravings (e.g., Soup, Pie, Sushi) displayed above his head, updating hourly.

2. Harvest Ingredients: Stock up on crops like Carrots, Tomatoes, Corn, Peppers, Pumpkins, and Watermelons. For top-tier dishes, grab rare items like Bone Blossom.

3. Cook Dishes: Combine ingredients in the Cooking Pot. The rarity (Common to Transcendent) and size of ingredients impact cooking time and reward quality.

4. Feed the Pig: Match your dish to Chris P.'s craving for better rewards. Larger ingredients mean bigger portions, boosting your chances for rare loot.

5. Skip the Wait (Optional): For 39 Robux, skip the cooking timer to keep the dishes coming.

Pro Tip: Set up an event farm dedicated to growing large, mutated crops. Bigger ingredients lead to higher-tier dishes, increasing your odds of snagging rare rewards like the Mochi Mouse pet or Gourmet Seed Packs.

Triggering the Kitchen Storm Event

The Kitchen Storm Event is the update's star feature, doubling cooking speed and unlocking the Aromatic Fruit mutation. Here's how to activate it:

• Feed Chris P. mutated dishes to earn points (e.g., Prismatic dishes = 7 points, Divine = 6, Mythical = 5).

• Reach 40 points to trigger Kitchen Storm, which boosts mutation carryover and offers a chance at the Aromatic Fruit mutation.

• The Aromatic Pet Shard, a reward from the Taste Testing Rat Connoisseur, applies the Aromatic mutation to nearby crops every 25 minutes.

This event is a game-changer for grinding high-tier recipes or chasing rare mutations like Molten (25x multiplier) or Meteoric (125x multiplier).

New Plants to Grow

The update adds several new crops, each with unique sell prices and growth patterns:

• Bitter Melon: Regrows, sells for ~70,000–93,000 Sheckles. A top pick for profit.

• Badlands Pepper: Regrows, ~40,000–50,000 Sheckles. Solid mid-tier crop.

• Butternut Squash: Regrows, ~31,000 Sheckles. Decent but not standout.

• Spring Onion: One-time harvest, ~27,000 Sheckles. Common and low-value.

• Prickle Fruit: One-time harvest, ~33,000 Sheckles. Modest returns for its size.

• Rhubarb: Regrows, ~20,000 Sheckles. Common and underwhelming.

• King Cabbage: Rare (1% chance from Culinary Chest), high-value but luck-based.

Prioritize Bitter Melon and Badlands Pepper for steady income, and chase King Cabbage if you're feeling lucky with Culinary Chests.

New Pets and Their Powers

The Cooking Update introduces food-themed pets, available via Gourmet Eggs or Culinary Chests:

• Sunnyside Chicken: Boosts egg hatch speed by 20.6%. Perfect for egg farmers.

• Gorilla Chef: Requires a Cooking Cauldron; 5% chance to duplicate food when cooking. A must-have for event grinding.

• Bacon Pig: Every 118 seconds, emits an aura boosting variant mutations (e.g., Rainbow, Gold) by 2.1x within 15 studs.

• Hot Dog Dachshund: Drops mustard/ketchup puddles every 4 minutes, granting 20% faster cooldowns or 20% more pet XP.

• Lobster Tidbit: Every 15 minutes, 20% chance for Molten mutation; every 30 minutes, 10% chance for Meteoric mutation.

Gorilla Chef and Lobster Tidbit shine for event efficiency and mutation farming.

Trading System: Safe and Smart

The new Trading System uses Trading Tickets (100,000 Sheckles or 19 Robux) for secure exchanges of pets, crops, and Sheckles. Only one player needs a ticket to open a trade window, with a time limit to finalize offers. Stick to this system to avoid scam-prone gifting trades.

Weather Events and Mutations

Acid Rain and admin-triggered weather events introduce rare mutations like Aromatic Fruit, Molten, and Meteoric. These can't be crafted in the mutation machine, so rely on Kitchen Storm or pet shards to unlock them. Aromatic mutations boost crop value, while Molten and Meteoric offer massive multipliers.

Food-Themed Cosmetics

Add flair to your farm with new cosmetics from Food Crates or the Kitchen Crate:

• Pink/Blue Cake: 25% chance each.

• Coffee Machine: 20% chance.

• Banana Hammock: 15% chance.

• Hotdog Cart/Cheese Mat: 6% chance each.

• Golden Hotdog Statue: 3% chance.

• Crispy Statue, Kitchen Cart, Smoothie Fountain: Available in Kitchen Crate.

The Crispy Statue is a fan-favorite for its quirky charm.
