Many kitchens in Overcooked 2 allow you to throw ingredients from one station to another instead of trekking across the map while holding a crate of tomatoes. Do this whenever a teammate is closer to the workstation;you'll save precious seconds that—on levels with tight timers—can make the difference between a three-star and a two-star rating.
Where can you find Kevin's secret levels?
The hidden levels dedicated to Kevin don't appear on the main map; they are unlocked only by meeting specific conditions within certain standard levels—conditions that vary depending on whether you are playing solo or in a group.If a level seems to have an unclear secondary objective, it's worth investigating before moving on.
Assign a fixed role to each player
Dividing tasks consistently—one person cooking, one chopping, one plating—works better than letting everyone do a bit of everything haphazardly.However, keeping an eye on pots and pans remains the responsibility of whoever is closest to the stove at the time, to avoid burning everything while distracted elsewhere.
Study the recipe before you start cooking
To achieve a four-star rating, it pays to prep the ingredients you know the level requires in advance, rather than discovering them as the orders come in. In the tutorial level, for instance, knowing that only salads will be served allows you to chop everything up before the first order even appears.
