What's a good iOS game to play when I'm stuck waiting for the pasta water to boil and need something brainless but kinda fun?

Cooking Madness is alright. It's a time-waster, sure, but it keeps my head in the game, y'know? Better than watching the pot, that's for damn sure.

Look, most of these cooking games are pure garbage. Too much fluff, not enough action. But Cooking Madness? It's got a certain chaotic energy I can get behind. It's fast, it's frantic, and it's simple enough to play even when I'm half-zombie after a 14-hour shift. I can jump in, sling some virtual burgers, and jump out when the water finally boils. No complicated BS, just pure, unadulterated kitchen madness. The customers get pissed if you're slow, just like real life. Plus, it helps me practice my mise en place, even if it's just in my head. Keeps the reflexes sharp, ya dig? Don't expect a Michelin star experience, but for killing time and keeping your mind off the screaming tickets, it's actually practical.
