When you click on Start Cooking This Recipe, then you will be shown each step in a special interface. You will also be asked, how many servings and number of cooks. This is where the app differs from others apps. For some steps, where timers are needed the app itself sets the timer when you are ready and warns you. Meanwhile the steps which can be carried out will be shown when you click next. So, this app will warn you and not let you burn down your recipes while you concentrate on other things.
