🍳 Cooking

Cook Mode, timers, servings, and saving a memory after you cook.

• Using Cook ModeA full-screen, step-by-step guide with a prep checklist, progress bar, and swipe or button navigation.
• TimersSet timers by hand from Cook Mode — quick presets or a scroll wheel, up to 10 at once, with background alerts.
• Adjusting servings while cookingChange the serving count in Cook Mode and every quantity scales — the saved recipe stays as it was.
• Step notes while cookingJot a note on the current step mid-cook — it's saved to the recipe, the same as a step note added in the editor.
• Keeping the screen awakeReciLore keeps your screen on for the whole Cook Mode session and lets it dim normally again when you leave.
• Finishing a cook & saving a memoryThe "How did it go?" screen lets you add a note and photo — that becomes a memory, marks the recipe Tried, and records who cooked it.
• Cooking offlineCook Mode works with no signal for any recipe you've opened before — but the memory you add after cooking needs a connection.
