'''Cooking Up Trouble''' is the 82nd episode of the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' series. In this episode, [[Sir Ebrum]] serves his kids a meal himself after [[Lady Like]] is unable to that night. After rumors spread about the event, everyone is led to believe that Sir Ebrum is a great gourmet and the female [[Cappy (anime)|Cappies]] especially fawn over him since their husbands cannot cook, themselves. The male Cappies are eager to learn how to cook in order to keep their reputations, and after [[Channel DDD]] broadcasts the new [[SlicerDicer]] Food Processors, the male Cappies and others immediately buy the product. Channel DDD then hosts a gentleman's cooking contest and all who own a SlicerDicer enter. The contestants prepare their meals with the food processors until [[Tiff]] brings the contest to a halt with a speech berating them for using machines instead of their own hands, and revealing that Sir Ebrum is not actually a gourmet chef. [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and [[Tokkori]] then arrive with their SlicerDicer and [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]]'s scam unfolds as all the parts merge together creating a robotic [[monster]] which King Dedede and Escargoon quickly jump into and take control of. After Kirby fails to defeat SlicerDicer due to its ability to launch food, [[Meta Knight]] strikes it using the [[Galaxia]] to cause sparks which Kirby [[Inhale|inhales]] to gain the [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability]]. Kirby then destroys the SlicerDicer by using his electricity from the inside of it which causes it to malfunction and blow to pieces, microwaving King Dedede and Escargoon in the process.

This episode marks the changing of [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]]'s voice actor to Eric Stuart in the 4Kids dub.

The episode begins as [[Lady Like]] calls her family by the phone and tells them she will not be able to make dinner for them that night. [[Sir Ebrum]] suggests to the kids that they and [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] eat at [[Kawasaki's]] but the kids quickly turn down the idea completely. [[Tuff]] then teases [[Tiff]] by asking her to cook for them stating that preparing meals is for women. His statement insults Tiff and she quickly grows angry at her brother. Sir Ebrum breaks the confrontation by announcing that he will prepare the meal. He serves Kirby and his family with a delectable pot roast after preparation. Lady Like then arrives and is surprised that her husband prepared the meal and is delighted by the taste of it. [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]] and [[Blade Knight (anime character)|Blade Knight]] watch the event from one of [[Castle Dedede]]'s balconies. Sword Knight comments on the aroma of the meal, however, he also states that anything could smell good compared to [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]'s cooking. Meta Knight overhears the last of the conversation and questions his apprentices. Sword Knight falsely explains that they were commenting on his incomparable cooking and quickly leave the scene as Meta Knight is left in suspicion.

Later that day, Lady Like tells the female [[Cappy (anime)|Cappies]] of [[Cappy Town]] about her husband's delicious meal. They all chat about their husbands' and Sir Ebrum's cooking until, as he passes by, the female Cappies surround him and fawn over him, believing that he is a great cook. Sir Ebrum escapes them only to be confronted by the male Cappies. They take him to [[Samo]]'s bar where they plead to him that he teach them how to cook in order to save their reputation. Sir Ebrum is soon overwhelmed by the crowd but after [[Chef Kawasaki (anime character)|Chef Kawasaki]] enters Samo's bar, Sir Ebrum quickly points to him for advice on meal making. Kawasaki then begins a cooking lesson at his restaurant, but it is cut-short as the male Cappies are chased away by his unappetizing food. The male Cappies then obtain cookbooks from [[Biblio]]'s book store in order to learn proper cooking skills, however, the cookbooks only make them question where to find the proper tools to cook with.

Meanwhile, [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] looks through his monster catalogue at Castle Dedede and decides to order a [[SlicerDicer|robot]] from [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. The [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] declines to sell it due to the King's outstanding debt, and [[Escargoon]] tries to settle their price problem by saying the company is to give them a buyer discount. N.M.E. Sales Guy declines regardless, instead offering them a sly deal of scamming the male Cappies of Cappy Town to buy the robot for him separated into multiple parts. Later on, [[Channel DDD]] advertises the SlicerDicer Food Processors, which all of the male Cappies and others buy to meet their cooking desires. Channel DDD then announces its first gentleman's Cooking Contest with the only requirement being the ownership of a SlicerDicer so that all of the parts and their plan will come together. All who own a machine enters, but [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and [[Tokkori]]'s SlicerDicer piece is delayed which makes them late to arrive at the contest.

*In the Japanese version, the scene where [[Sir Ebrum|Cabinet Minister Pāmu]] passes out his meal to his kids and [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] is longer.

*In the Japanese version, the kids' reaction to their father's meal is much more enthusiastic.

*In the Japanese version, [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]] claims that he has never wished for the idyllic domestic life, but the aroma of Pāmu's meal tempts him. [[Blade Knight (anime character)|Blade Knight]] agrees and states that he is jealous of it, rather than the two stating how terrible [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]'s cooking is.

*In the Japanese version, [[Chef Kawasaki (anime character)|Chef Kawasaki]] says that he uses beer in his strawberry risotto. The 4Kids version changes this to oil in order to avoid alcohol referencing.
