Cooking mode

Cooking mode is only in the mobile app. In the browser you read the recipe in the normal view.

Cooking mode takes you through a recipe step by step. Your phone’s screen stays on while you cook.

Getting started

1. Open a recipe that has steps.
2. Tap Start cooking.

At the top you’ll see a progress bar and the step number, e.g. “Step 3 of 7”.

Moving between steps

• Swipe left or right (“Swipe between steps”),
• or use the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom.

What’s in a step

• the step text — technical words are underlined; tap one and the Guide explains it,
• Ingredients for this step — tick off what’s already in the bowl,
• Equipment for this step, if the author ticked it,
• timers — times from the step as buttons you can start (see the article on timers),
• Add note — a note on the step for next time.

A recipe open in cooking mode also works without internet. You’ll then see “Offline mode — recipe available without a connection”.

Finishing

On the last step tap Finish. The Done! screen lets you:

• write a Next time note (e.g. “less salt”),
• Add photo of the finished dish,
• take the ingredients you used out of the pantry — the question Take it out of the pantry? and the Deduct button,
• go Back to recipe.

The dish is saved as cooked — you’ll see it on Home in the Cooked section.

If you leave mid-way while a timer is running, Przepisnik asks Stop cooking? — the timer will then be switched off.
