Hotcook Recipe Improvements
For Hotcook users: the recipe screen is now more actionable with menu selection guidance, ingredient substitution notes, and finishing tips.
Menu selection guide
The recipe screen now shows the Hotcook menu path: which category to navigate to, which auto-menu number to select, and how long it will take. No more guessing which button to press.
Example: Simmered dishes → Root vegetables → Auto-menu #23 → Start (approx. 35 min)
Substitution notes & finishing tips
If a seasoning or ingredient isn't in your pantry, AI suggests a practical substitute. Finishing tips help with plating and last-minute flavor adjustments.
🔄
Substitution notes
e.g. "No curry roux? Use 2 tbsp curry powder + 1 tbsp flour." Practical alternatives using what you have.
