Get ready to cook

Open the recipe and set the servings you need. The ingredient quantities will adjust. If you imported the recipe, check it against the original before you begin.

Follow the steps

  1. Choose Start cooking. If you’ve already started this recipe, choose Resume cooking to pick up where you left off.

  2. Read the step and gather what you need. Choose Next step when you’re ready to move on, or Back to read an earlier step.

  3. Start any timers when you need them. They won’t start just because you’ve reached a timed step.

  4. Choose Finish when you’re done cooking.

Step away and come back

If you close the cooking screen before finishing, choose Leave to keep your place. Any running timers will continue. Use the Cooking bar to return when you’re ready.

End cooking stops your participation instead. If someone else is cooking the recipe with you, they can carry on.

Cook with someone else

With Pro, you can follow the same recipe alongside someone in your household. When you open the meal they’re cooking, choose whether to start at step 1 or join at their current step.

You each move through the recipe at your own pace. Timers are shared, but moving to the next step won’t move the other person along. If one person finishes first, the other can keep going.
