Cook Mode helps guide you through recipes step by step — making cooking easier, more organised, and hands-free.
What is Cook Mode?
Cook Mode is your guided cooking companion in Stashcook. It walks you through each recipe one step at a time, showing only the ingredients you need for that step. You can tick them off as you go, and the screen stays locked to prevent accidental taps — so you can focus on cooking, not scrolling.
To start Cook Mode:
Select a recipe you’d like to make.
Tap “Cook.”
Tap “Next” to move to the next step.
Tick the box next to each ingredient once it’s been used.
