Your next step, right in front of you.

Settle into cooking. See the instruction you need, check off its ingredients, and keep an eye on the timer. Pick up where you left off when you come back.

Keep the instruction, adjustable timer, and ingredient checklist together. Your position and checks are saved when you leave.
