Overcooked 2 is now available, allowing you to shout at your friends once again for being slow, doing something wrong, or not reading your mind well enough. The new game not only brings online multiplayer to the series, but there are loads of new stages and recipes.

That’s how much the levels can change up as you play. It’s certainly a step up from the first Overcooked. To help you navigate those levels, getting food from one area to another, you’re going to want to know how to throw items. Here’s everything you need to know on how to throw items in Overcooked 2.
