Proxies may have noticed that some ingredients have special effects. When the cooking phase begins, each ingredient has a 10% chance to become an Premium Ingredient. Premium Ingredients have their base Deliciousness score doubled, and their effects are also enhanced. Prioritizing Premium Ingredients when scooping is therefore a good strategy.

On the Order screen, Menu screen, and Menu Catalog screen, Proxies can switch to preview the Premium version of an ingredient's details.
