If you cook recipes from your phone, you’re probably familiar with “cook mode” by now. It’s a toggle on recipes that makes it so your screen doesn’t go dark when you’re cooking, which is always helpful — but we knew it could be better.
When we set out to reinvent cook mode, we knew exactly what we wanted. After all, we’re not just food editors and developers — we’re also home cooks who follow recipes on our screens all the time.
So we added features you won’t find anywhere else, which is why we’ve called it Cook Mode+. Of course it prevents your screen from going dark, so you don’t have to fumble with passwords or Face ID mid-recipe. But Cook Mode+ does so much more. Toggle on from any of our 10,000 recipes and:
- Say goodbye to screen drama (no pop-ups or going dark)
- Use the ingredients checklist to make sure you’ve got all you need right in front of you, or to check off ingredients as you use them
- Collapse each step as you go, so you never forget where you are in the recipe
