Cooking Mode

While cooking, you can cross off steps and ingredients to track your progress.

Crossing off steps

Click a step heading to strike through the entire step — ingredients, instructions, and all. Click it again to uncheck.

Crossing off ingredients and instructions

Click any ingredient line or instruction paragraph to cross it off individually. Useful when a step has several ingredients and you want to check them off as you add them.

Your progress is saved

Checked state is stored in your browser and persists across page loads and app updates. If you refresh the page or come back later, your checkmarks will still be there.

Progress resets after about two days, so old checkmarks don’t pile up.

The state is per-recipe and per-device — it’s not shared with other household members or synced across devices.

Screen stays on

The app keeps your screen from dimming while you’re viewing a recipe, so you don’t have to keep tapping to stay awake in the middle of a step. The same applies on the Groceries page while shopping.

Not all browsers support this. If yours doesn’t, everything still works normally — your screen may just dim after inactivity.
