@ILoveDancing#1: Your steps for accelerating free gem earnings by getting cooking status is a bit off. The number in the corner next to a food item is the next cooking level you are working toward for that food item (note the meter next to that which shows how close you are to the next level. There are four levels, and you get a free gem upon obtaining level 2 (Line Cook) and level 4 (Executive Chef) for a given food item. You work your way to a new level by earning Chef Hats. Chef Hats are given when you select (1 hat), prepare (2 hats before cooking and 1 hat for prep work for after food is cooked) and 3 hats when you serve your food. This means that if you are not using an easy stove / grill / oven, you earn 7 chefs hats total for each food item you prep and serve. The easy stove / grill / ovenndevices net you only 4 chefs hats since there is no prep work done). Sadly, you do not earn a free gem when you obtain level 1 (Apprentice Chef) or level 3 (Sous Chef) for a given food item. You can accelerate your free gems by sticking with non-easy stoves and cooking a lot of the same food item over and over. When you have earned your gems for the food items that do not take long to cook - you could switch between 2 foods on your stove and pick up the first 3 pre-cook hats, then clear the food and prep a different food and get 3 pre-cook hats for that food. Disadvantage is you lose money buying the ingredients for food that will never be finished and served. I hope this helps everyone! :-)
