Max Mixed Cuisine: throw it in the pot and see what Max serves
Max Mixed Cuisine is an ingredient-combination cooking puzzle by Go Panda Games in which you help chef Max load a robot-armed electric pot with food, mix it, and find out which dish, and which joke ending, comes out. Max is a mustached cook in a white hat, standing beside three shelves of ingredients: eggs, cheese, salad greens, fish roe, broccoli, a lobster and bread on top; a chicken drumstick, raw meat, noodles, shrimp, green beans and a loaf in the middle; bottled sauces, pepper, lemons and more on the counter. Our first mix produced Ninja Ramen, a bowl of noodles served by a crowd of orange-haired ninja cooks. Max Mixed Cocktails is the later bar version with the same buttons, but it mixes drinks instead of food.

How to play Max Mixed Cuisine
Every dish is a small experiment. Pick the ingredients, set the amount of each, and let the pot decide what you made.
- 1
Start from the title screen
Press the green play button next to the Max Mixed Cuisine logo. The kitchen opens with Max, the shelves and an empty pot.
- 2
Choose an ingredient
Click anything on the shelves. Max picks it up, and the bar at the bottom right shows its name, for example Egg.
- 3
Pour it into the pot
Hold the POUR button to add the ingredient. A green gauge with tick marks fills while you hold, so a longer press means more of it.
- 4
Mix and check the ending
Press MIX. The pot cooks, the finished dish appears on top, and an ending card names it, such as Ninja Ramen with the line "This is my noodle way!"

What sets Max Mixed Cuisine apart
Dishes that turn into jokes
A finished recipe is shown as a comic scene. Ninja Ramen, for example, fills the kitchen with ninja cooks making a hand sign over the bowl.
15 dishes to discover
The Collections grid holds 15 slots in three rows. The first ending also awards a badge called The Newcomer.
Named recipe cards
Tapping a locked slot opens a card like Best Comfort Food with four ingredient spaces: one hint and three that can be revealed by a video.
One gauge for every ingredient
Eggs, shrimp and sauces all use the same Pour gauge, so the quantity of each item is part of the recipe you are testing.
Tips for Max Mixed Cuisine
- Change one ingredient at a time. If a mix gives a new dish, you will know which item made the difference.
- Write combinations down. GamePix recommends keeping a note of the mixes that worked, which saves repeating the same attempt.
- Use the recipe card's free hint. The first ingredient on each card is shown without an ad, so begin every attempt with it.
- Clear bad starts early. The trash can empties the pot, which is faster than cooking a mix you already know is wrong.
- Avoid odd pairings unless you want a surprise. CrazyGames warns that undesirable ingredients lead to unexpected results.
