Features

Everything the first version does.

Nothing on this page is a maybe. What we are still building has its own page, and we keep the two apart on purpose.

It picks up right where you left it.

Take a call, close the app, let the battery die, restart the phone. Golden Cheff reopens on the same step, and your timers kept counting the whole time. Every move you make is written down as it happens, so the app rebuilds your cook exactly, not approximately.

Timers inside the steps

The sear step arrives with its 4-minute timer. One tap starts it, one tap pauses it when the doorbell rings. Timers run on the clock, not on the screen, so closing the app does not reset them.

One step, big type

One instruction fills the screen, readable from across the counter. The buttons are big enough to hit with a knuckle, which is usually what you have free while cooking.

Safety checks on the step

The steps that matter carry the safe internal temperature, like 165°F for chicken, right where you need it. Not buried at the bottom of the recipe, where nobody reads it with raw meat on their hands.

Works offline

Bad signal by the stove is normal. Once a recipe is on your phone you can cook it start to finish with no connection at all, and nothing you did gets lost when the signal comes back.

Your units, your screen

°F, cups and tablespoons by default, with °C and grams for anyone who cooks that way. On a phone you get one step at a time. On a tablet the whole recipe sits next to the step you are on, so you can see what is coming.

Being straight with you

What it does not do yet.

Plenty of cooking apps describe the version they wish they had. These four are ours, and they sit on the roadmap, not in the app.

  1. 01

    It is not hands-free

    You tap to move on. Voice control is the next thing we are building.

  2. 02

    It does not answer questions

    Out of butter, wrong pan size? For now the app cannot help with that.

  3. 03

    One dish at a time

    Cooking three things so they land together is a different problem, and a later one.

  4. 04

    It does not know your pantry

    No shopping list, no tracking what you already have.
