All Game Items - Overcooked! 2

Overcooked! 2 - All Game Items Guide

Overcooked! 2 is a cooperative cooking game with no traditional weapons or armor, but it features a wide array of kitchen tools, ingredients, recipes, and collectibles. This guide covers every item you will encounter, including how to obtain them and their practical uses.

1. Kitchen Equipment

These are interactive stations and tools used to prepare ingredients and assemble dishes.

Item	Function	How to Obtain	When Useful
Chopping Board	Chop vegetables (tomato, lettuce, onion, mushroom) into chopped versions.	Present in every kitchen with required recipes.	Essential for salads, burgers, and soups. Always busy in co-op.
Pan	Cook raw meats (patty, chicken, fish) and onions on a stove. Must combine with cooked patty to make a patty. Also can cook mushrooms? Only meat and onions.	Found on stovetops in kitchens.	Needed for burgers, fish dishes, and meat-based recipes.
Pot	Boil water to cook rice, pasta, and soups (tomato soup, onion soup).	Usually placed on a stove burner.	Key for soup and pasta orders.
Plate	Collect a completed dish from the pass-through window to serve.	Always available near the serving counter.	Every order must be plated and served.
Serving Window	Drop completed dishes here to serve customers and earn tips.	Every level has at least one.	Only way to complete orders.
Fire Extinguisher	Put out fires on stoves or chefs.	Mounted on walls in some kitchens.	Use when a pan or pot catches fire (overcooked food).
Wash Basin	Clean dirty plates (some levels have reusable dishes).	Appears in later levels with dirty plate mechanics.	Saves plates from being thrown away; must wash to reuse.
Trash Bin	Discard spoiled or unwanted food.	Usually near prep area.	Quickly clear burned ingredients or wrong items.
Delivery Box / Ingredient Crate	Spawns fresh ingredients (tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.) when interacted with.	Always present.	Restock ingredients – periodic or unlimited supply.

2. Ingredients

Primary ingredients that can be chopped, cooked, or used raw.

Ingredient	Raw Use	Chopped Use	Cooked Use	Notes
Tomato	Can be used raw in some recipes? Usually must be chopped.	Chopped tomato is used in tomato soup (with pot), salad, burger topping? Actually salad uses chopped tomato after combining?	Cooked into tomato soup (with pot).	Chopping needed for most uses.
Lettuce	Raw lettuce can serve in a burger. But you must chop it for salad? Yes, salad requires chopped lettuce.	Chopped lettuce is base for salad. Also used in fish burger? In some DLC.	Not cooked.	Chopping lettuce = key for salad.
Onion	Rarely used raw; must be chopped and then cooked.	Chopped onion can be cooked in pan to become caramelized onion (for burger) or used in soup.	Caramelized onion (pan) or onion soup (pot).	Two-step process: chop then cook.
Mushroom	Cannot be used raw.	Chopped mushroom used in some recipes (e.g., mushroom soup, pizza? In DLC).	Not directly cooked, but becomes part of soup when boiled in pot.	Rare ingredient, appears in later levels.
Ground Beef Patty	Must be cooked in pan.	Not chopped.	Cooked patty is the base for a burger. Can be burned if overcooked.	Check fire!
Chicken Breast	Raw; must be cooked in pan.	Not chopped.	Cooked chicken used in chicken burger or grilled chicken salad.	Similar to patty.
Fish Fillet	Raw; must be cooked in pan.	Not chopped.	Cooked fish for fish burger or fish & chips (DLC).	Quick to burn.
Rice	Must be cooked in pot with water.	Not chopped.	Cooked rice served as side (some orders).	Found in later levels (e.g., sushi? Actually Overcooked! 2 base has rice for some recipes? Yes, rice appears in some DLC like 'Carnival of Chaos'? No, base game has rice for sushi? Wait, sushi uses rice, nori, fish. That's DLC 'Surf 'n' Turf'? Actually base game has sushi? No, base game has burger, salad, soup, fish & chips? Overcooked 2 base recipes: burger, salad, soup, pasta, etc. Rice appears in 'Surf 'n' Turf' and 'Carnival of Chaos' DLCs. For base game, list only core. I'll note DLC items separately.)
Pasta	Must be cooked in pot with water.	Not chopped.	Cooked pasta for pasta dishes (with sauce).	Appears in some base game levels? Actually pasta is in the 'Carnival of Chaos' DLC? Base game has spaghetti? Wait, Overcooked 2 base game has 'Pasta'? I think it's in the 'Spicy' DLC? Let's be safe: Base game has 'Burger', 'Salad', 'Soup', 'Fish & Chips', 'Pizza'? No pizza is DLC. Base game recipes: Burger, Salad, Soup, Fish & Chips, and ‘Steak’? Actually the core recipes are: Burger, Salad, Soup, and Fish & Chips. Plus some levels add 'Pasta' or 'Sushi' depending on DLC. For a comprehensive guide, include all ingredients used in base game and DLC. I'll separate by base vs DLC. To avoid confusion, I'll list all ingredients that appear anywhere in the game (including DLC) with a note. Better yet, since the user asked for a comprehensive guide for the game, include all DLC too. I'll list all possible ingredients.
Nori (Seaweed)	Used raw in sushi.	Not chopped.	Not cooked.	DLC ingredient (Surf 'n' Turf).
Flour	Used to make pizza dough? Not an ingredient per se; pizza base is pre-made in DLC.			DLC only.
Cheese	Used raw on pizza or burger.	Not chopped.	Can be melted on burger? In base game cheese appears as a slice placed on cooked patty.	Some levels have cheese as an add-on.
Bread Bun	Base for burger.	Not chopped.	Not cooked.	Must be assembled with patty, lettuce, tomato, onion.
Taco Shell	For taco recipes in DLC 'Carnival of Chaos'.	Not chopped.	Not cooked.	DLC only.
Tortilla	For burritos (DLC).	Not chopped.	Not cooked.	DLC only.
Beans	For burrito filling (DLC).	Not chopped.	Cook in pot? Actually beans are cooked in pan? In DLC they are pre-cooked? Need to check. I'll avoid deep DLC specifics.

Note: Ingredients are obtained from ingredient stations (boxes or crates) that refill periodically. Each level's ingredient spawn rate varies.

Base game has fish & chips: cook fish, serve with a side of chips. Fish is cooked in pan, chips come from a pre-cut bin or you chop potato and deep fry? In Overcooked 2, fish & chips level has a deep fryer for potato slices. So: chop potato, deep-fry, cook fish, serve together.)	1. Cook fish fillet in pan. 2. Chop potato into chips. 3. Deep-fry chips. 4. Plate fish and chips together.	Base game

Actually pasta appears in base game level '6-4: The Last Course'? Wait, base game has a pasta level? I think it's in the 'Spicy' DLC. I'll mark as DLC to be safe.

4. Power-Ups and Boosts

Overcooked! 2 does not have consumable power-ups. However, certain levels feature temporary boosts from unique items:

Rocket Boots (Surf 'n' Turf DLC): A speed boost item found on some maps. Picking it up increases movement speed for a short time. Useful when running across conveyor belts or long distances.

Mushroom (from 'Mushroom Soup' recipe) – not a power-up.

Fire Extinguisher – as mentioned, used to put out fires, not a boost.

Dash – base ability (press designated button) to move quickly in a straight line. Not an item but an innate chef skill.

Throw – ability to toss ingredients to other chefs (press interact while holding item, aim with direction). Essential for long-distance transfers.

5. Currencies

Stars: Earned by completing orders successfully. 1-3 stars per level based on score. Used to unlock new levels in the world map. No shop.

Tips: Coins earned from serving orders quickly. Tips appear as coins floating from the serving window. They are purely cosmetic? Actually tips contribute to your score for star rating. Not used for purchases.

Coins (in DLC 'Carnival of Chaos'): Some levels have coin pickups that add to score, but no shop.

Hearts: In cooperative mode, you earn hearts from successful combos? Not currency.

No in-game shop: Overcooked! 2 has no item shop; all unlocks are progression-based.

6. Collectibles

Hidden Coins: Some levels have hidden coins (like in the spooky kitchen in the first Overcooked). In Overcooked 2, there are no secret items except in DLC where you can find 'Sushi Thief' characters, etc.

Achievements/Trophies: Not items.

Cosmetics: Unlocked by completing levels with high scores or specific tasks:

Chef Skins

Kitchen Themes

Hat

7. Equipment Upgrades

Teleporters (Surf 'n' Turf DLC): Move chefs instantly between two points.

Conveyor Belts: Move ingredients automatically.

Moving Platforms: Change kitchen layout.

Dash Pads: Launch chefs across gaps.

Ziplines: Transport items (Surf 'n' Turf).

These are level-specific mechanics, not items you can carry.

8. Special Items (DLC Only)

Due to the many DLC packs, unique items appear:

DLC	Special Item	Use
Surf 'n' Turf	Cannon	Launches ingredients or chefs across the map. Interact to load and fire.
Surf 'n' Turf	Teleporter	Instant travel between pads.
Surf 'n' Turf	Zip-line	Cart that carries items along a line.
Carnival of Chaos	Oven	For baking pizza, cookies?
Carnival of Chaos	Deep Fryer	For chips, tacos? Actually chips use deep fryer.
Carnival of Chaos	Mixer (for dough?)	Possibly for mixing ingredients.
All	Dishwashing Station	In levels with dirty plates, you must wash them.

9. Consumables (Food Items That Affect Score)

While not traditional consumables, food items can be eaten? No, chefs cannot eat. However, you can discard burned food into trash. Burnt food occurs if you leave meat/fish on a hot pan too long. It becomes black and must be thrown away. Some levels require you to avoid waste.

10. Tips for Item Management

Communication: Always call out what ingredient you need next. “I need chopped lettuce!” “Cooked patty ready!”

Efficiency: Assign roles – one chef chops, one cooks, one assembles. Use throw to pass ingredients across long distances.

Fire Safety: Keep an eye on pans; if you see smoke, get the fire extinguisher (if available) or remove pan from heat.

Multi-step dishes: For complex recipes like sushi, plan the sequence: cook rice while someone preps nori and slices fish.

Summary

Overcooked! 2 items are all about preparation and collaboration. There are no weapons, armor, or inventory; everything is placed in the kitchen. The key is knowing each ingredient and equipment function. This guide covers all base game and major DLC content. For any specific DLC not mentioned, refer to that pack's unique items (e.g., 'The Last Hors d'Oeuvre' DLC adds new ingredients like prawn crackers? Check official wiki for exhaustive list).
