Guided Cooking Mode
Follow a saved recipe one step at a time. Scale ingredient amounts, check off preparation and steps, and keep a cooking timer alongside your place.
How can I follow a recipe without losing my place?
Start a cooking session from a saved recipe and choose its multiplier. The session keeps a snapshot of the ingredients and steps, so later recipe edits do not change the recipe in progress. Check ingredients and completed steps, move forward or back, and use a timer that retains its deadline after reload. Timers show in the open workspace without sound or background alerts.
