Fire is the main obstacle of the Overcooked! series. It is present as large red flames or colorful firework explosions in the Sun's Out, Buns Out DLC and 1-2 (Overcooked! All You Can Eat World Food Festival).

Description

Fires appear once food placed in a Cookware and put over a cooking device overcooks. Burnt food is generated in the cookware alongside the fire. Fire is also generated by the Ever Peckish in The Peckening with the help of meteors, background flamers, torches and other fire sources.

Fire expands on adjacent Countertops, Burners, Deep Fryers, and other kitchen utensils upon which objects are placed. Any cooking device affected by tabletop fire cannot cook food until the fire is extinguished.

In 1-6 (Overcooked! 2), a new type of fire is introduced which appears after a certain amount of time has passed and appears constantly. It is stuck to the ground of the kitchen and will block players that try to walk through it. These flames go out once their timer ends, but can also be extinguished to shorten the process.

While a Fire is active, a constant vibration will be played and experienced on controllers.

Side Notes

• Chefs can still chop, assemble and take out ingredients out of Countertops etc. when they are on fire.
• If a ground flame appears on top of an existing one, the timer of the existing one resets.
