Cooking Mode is now available in Sharp Cooking.
This update focuses on one moment: when you’re actually standing in the kitchen, trying to cook from a recipe.
What’s new
A focused cooking view
Recipes now open in a dedicated cooking mode designed for real kitchen conditions:
- Large, readable text you can see from across the counter
- One step at a time — no scrolling through long pages
- Clean layout with no popups, ads, or distractions
The goal is simple: when you’re cooking, the interface should get out of the way.
Hands-free navigation
You can now move through a recipe without touching your device:
- Say “next” to advance
- Say “previous” to go back
- Say “repeat” to hear the current step again
Voice commands are processed locally in your browser. We don’t record or store audio.
Keyboard support
For non-touch use, Cooking Mode also supports:
- Arrow keys to move between steps
- Spacebar to advance
This makes it usable on laptops, tablets with keyboards, or any setup where touch isn’t ideal.
Why this matters
Most recipe apps work fine when you’re browsing. They break down when you’re actually cooking.
- Small text
- Endless scrolling
- Ads and popups
- Screens that assume clean hands and full attention
Cooking Mode is built for the opposite: messy hands, split attention, real-time use.
It’s part of a larger idea: your recipes should be usable, not just stored.
How to use it
- Open any recipe in your collection
- Click “Cooking Mode”
- Step through the recipe using touch, voice, or keyboard
That’s it.
What’s next
We’re continuing to improve Cooking Mode based on real use:
- Broader voice support across browsers
- Clearer step formatting for complex recipes
- Better handling of timers and parallel steps
If something doesn’t work the way you expect, let us know — we read every message.
Try it
Open one of your saved recipes and cook from it this week. Or import a new recipe and see how it works in practice.
