Cooked analysis
Cooked is the payoff of the cooking chain, upgrading Burnt's ×4 to ×25. Because it comes from a Chef pet it fires on a cooldown, making it far more dependable than an event mutation of similar strength.
Overall ranking
#25 of 45Cooked is the 25th-strongest mutation in the game and 12th of 18 in the Event category. That is 1.2× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+24Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Cooked therefore contributes +24 to the bracket, not ×25 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+11.0%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Cooked raises it to ×243 — a 11.0% increase. Cooked is middling at #25 of 45: its 11.0% improvement is useful padding but will not carry a crop alone. Take it when it lands, do not plan around it.
How to obtain
EventSource: Chef pet / fire. This comes from a limited event, so it cannot be farmed on demand — take it opportunistically while the event runs.
Where Cooked sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Molten (×25), worth 0 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Zombified (×25). If Cooked is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Cooked FAQ
How much does the Cooked mutation multiply crop value?
Cooked carries a ×25 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +24. On its own it gives a ×25 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×243.
How do you get the Cooked mutation?
Cooked comes from: Chef pet / fire. It is a Event mutation, ranked #25 of 45 overall and 12th within its category.
Is Cooked worth farming?
Cooked sits at #25 of 45 with a ×25 multiplier, contributing +24 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×25 is the whole of its value. Compared with Zombified (×25) just below it, the gap is 0.
Can Cooked stack with other mutations?
Yes. Cooked stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time.
