So many fires in my Sims' kitchen happening all the time and my Sims have like the highest Cooking skill wat? I want to enjoy this stuff pack and cooking in-game but whenever I open the Cook... menu it freezes for like 5 seconds
The cook menu feels slower in my game too. Haven't had any fires yet, though. Wish we could store appliances in the upper cabinets, kitchens feel so cluttered now with all the different appliances on the countertops. My sims usually have small kitchens, so there's not enough space to display them all.
I am usually not too hard on SPs as it is just items and may pick it up.

Cooking and gardening is soooo over done. We have so much of that content already!!
I would like some expansion for my artistic sims, the musicians and the painters. A variety musical instruments, and bands!! Not every artist is a painter, what about sculpting and multi-media etc etc. There is so much content that could be created for those types of sims. I hate how they all just paint the same thing over and over and over.... They're ARTISTS!!!
And sporty sims... there's like one sport that every sim has to join as a career. And the career ladder makes absolutely zero sense.
There is just such a lack of variety and attention to details that drives me crazy. For longevity in the game, a variety of career options within the careers would be so welcome. Expanding and paying attention to what we are lacking instead of just churning out ANOTHER kitchen based set.
*SIGH*
Do you use the paint from reference? That expands what you can paint a lot, and then you can always start a business to sell the paintings to other sims too if you play rotationally.
My big negative thought so far is my sim is eating the prepped food if it gets put in the fridge instead of eating the already cooked food. And no mods to stop this issue at least that I can find. It's very frustrating because it means I have to keep taking it back out. Also sims are putting anything they make with the new small appliances into their inventory. And all the sudden my master chef is setting fire to the stove by cooking a meal she has cooked many times! WTH!?
Update: I did find a mod to fix the eating of prepped foods that LittleMsSam made.

I'm planning to mod that once I get the pack, but I'm not sure when/whether that will be. I don't feel the urge for more recipes and was never fond of selling tables. I would merely buy it to support the Return Stuff Packs, so I'm still undecided.

I thought that with the new vending table Sims would buy only one portion of a pizza or one waffle. They don't. They buy the whole plate. Or did I miss something?
My one complaint with this pack is that all the "new gameplay" is just reskinned existing gameplay, it's basically just new cooking animations plus a sales table (which we already have in multiple packs).
The only negatives for me for the new stuff pack are;
No toasters, electric kettles or toasted sandwich makers.
We could have a couple of extra tiled floor or wallpaper/tiles options.
Why are the swatches so restrictive in colours? I would love the ability for custom swatches if a colour wheel isn’t coming.
Regarding electric kettles, Sims Freeplay has one so why can’t Sims 4? 🤷🏼♂️🙄.
I will wait for a sale but I’m definitely getting it.
CAS items are decidedly meh from the reviews I've seen. No apron(s) that can simply be an overlay to what sim is already wearing, as in RL. After all these years and cooking type packs/kits still no proper TS2 style food processor. A mixer is not a food processor/blender.
There weren't many negative thoughts on Home Chef Hustle (and rightfully so), but I had promised to do a fix for Sims autonomously getting batter, dough and other prepped ingredients as leftovers when I'd get the pack.
So here we go:
I would say the two things I like least about the pack are the sales table and the pizza oven. I'm glad you can sell food via the table, without owning a retail store, but I would prefer to have more options such as a vendor stall, kiosk, or food truck like the eco living beverage bodega truck. The pizza oven should also come in an off the grid brick oven version, for a rustic feel. I'm also surprised it took EA this long to introduce more food retailed appliances. I mean, other than the ice cream and popcorn machines, cooking related gameplay hasn't been expanded upon that much. It also should have come with a wall oven like a culinary school or bakery would have.

No option to cover it ?
