Opening Cooking View

When it's time to cook, just tap on View Full Recipe.

Cooking View on Phones

On phones, the Ingredients, Steps, and Recipe Info are separated into tabs. Quickly switch between tabs with a horiztonal swipe. The app remembers your scroll position in each tab, so you won’t lose your place when jumping back and forth.

Cooking View on Tablets, Macs, and PCs

On large devices, such as tablets and laptops, the Ingredients and Steps are shown side-by-side.

Marking Off Ingredients and Highlighting Steps

As you’re cooking, you can mark off the ingredients you’ve already used by tapping on them.

And you can tap on your current step to highlight it.

Making Notes

After cooking, you can use the Notes area to log any adjustments you made to the recipe or any tweaks you want to try next time. And if the recipe came from a website and you want to let the author know how it turned out, just tap on the Recipe Source URL to open the recipe website.

Switching Between Recipes

Cooking multiple dishes at once? Use the recipe switcher to quickly switch between them.

If you’re viewing a recipe from the meal planning calendar, all other recipes on the same day will automatically appear in the recipe switcher. You can tap Browse Recipes to open any other recipe.
