I don't usually play much of these type of simulator games but I really enjoy this one.\nI find myself getting rid of all the things that I don't need first instead of properly putting things in.

I made it to the third stage, but couldn't get the last ingredients in without messing up.  I like the concept and use of physics to put the ingredients in the pot.
