Cook Mode Connects the Recipe, Your Pantry and Your Plan

Cook mode shows a recipe as step by step instructions, one step at a time, with a timer on the steps that need one. Most recipes are written as one long block of text, so you lose your place between the pan and the screen, and you guess how long something has been cooking.

Know what to cook, what to eat, and what to buy. easyChef Pro brings your recipes, nutrition, meal plans, pantry and shopping together in one app. Before you start, Cook Mode marks each ingredient as Available or Missing in your pantry. Each step shows its amounts and its own timer, and the app sends a notification when 30 seconds are left and when the timer ends. When you finish, preview what comes off your pantry and confirm it.

Check your pantry before you start

Start Cook Mode from a recipe and see each ingredient marked Available or Missing in your pantry.
Then start cooking, or choose Cook Anyway.

Follow the recipe one step at a time

Each step shows the amounts it needs, so you do not scroll back to the ingredient list.
