Description

Easy Cooking Timer lets you time the items in your meal so that they all finish together. Simply enter the details of the steps and times for the items in your meal and the app will calculate when each step needs to start. FEATURES ======== You can start cooking immediately or choose a meal end time. The timers run in the background so you can turn off your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or use other apps while your meal is cooking. Cooking timer: • Displays a timer for each step in your meal, showing when the step will start. • Quickly see when the meal will be ready and when the next step will start. • Audio and visual alerts warn you when a step needs to be performed. • Hands-free operation to avoid getting your screen dirty. Manage your meals: • Store the details for as many different meals as you want. • Need to eat by 6pm? View meal times as the time the meal will be ready if you start cooking now. • Hungry for chicken? Search meals by meal name, item name or both. • Duplicate meals/items or copy items/steps from other meals to quickly create combinations. Today widget: • Quickly see which step starts next and how long until the meal is ready. • Tap a step to open the main app. Apple Watch app: • View cooking timer and notifications. REVIEWS ======= ***** "Perfect for those big complicated meals where everything needs different cooking times or where there are many stages to a dish. I looked at several different apps which claimed to do similar kind of thing, but none had depth of functionality, nor the ease of use and streamlined interface of this one." — littlesquidge, UK. ***** "Best cooking timer I can find, with clear sequential steps throughout the whole process!" — Midamoor, UK. ***** "It does one thing and one thing well and is probably the best 'kitchen' timer on the App Store for cooking." — Orca1910, UK. ***** "Excellent app, very simple to set up and has multiple stages built in. Visually clear and perfect for a big meal like Christmas." — BT2203, Ireland.

  • Great idea, needs a few tweaks

    I use this for Christmas dinner, but it would be great if it let me do four things. 1/ Add a bit more time to an item when the timer is running but the cook hasn’t begun. 2/show the temperatures of all the items in a menu to see if there’s some way to share two meals in the same oven by altering times or shelves. Perhaps by colouring each item by temperature? Or just showing the temp and convection mode for each dish. 3/export to iCal the entire cook to remind you to visit the app 4/sync the meals to my iPads to free up the phone

    The app is not easy to use. I was unable to determine how to properly enter menu items and times to plan my meal. I do not recommend this app.
  • Great app

    No more burning the chicken while the potatoes finish cooking.This great little app takes all the guesswork out of preparing everything from a simple single pot recipe to a multiple course meal. And what really “put the icing on the cake“ is the prompt and thorough support the developer provides. As someone who loves to entertain, this has made my life so much easier and cooking so much more enjoyable.
  • A bunch of clutter

    Luckily a couple bucks, but a lot of trouble and steps you can’t sort or move in edit menus buried in sub menus and timers that look like steps and vice versa. You become more concerned with planning and organizing your menu than just getting the cooking going or making a paper list. For me, it had a learning curve and didn’t work for my purposes. Maybe that’s just not how I work in the kitchen. Will delete so it’s not another timer app weighing down my screen space.
  • Great app for timing meals!

    Does everything it says it does and more. I have just two recommendations for improvements: - Share between devices and/or exporting feature. I’ve created a lot of meals that I would like to send to my wife. - Identifying a step as active or inactive time. For example, if I put something in the oven for :20, I can complete steps for other items while it’s cooking. This will then give a more accurate completion time for the entire meal. Those two items would easily make this a five star app for me.
  • Great app - have been waiting a long time for this

    Such a simple idea but very well executed. Have been waiting a long time for a cooking timer that tracks multiple dishes to a single fixed finish time. Thanks for making this app.
  • Very nice

    So far I'm impressed with the app. Loading it up with my usual items to cook and will give it a try for a couple wks. Will update my review if for some reason it starts performing badly but as of now it's perfect!
  • Great potential

    I love the idea of this app! I was sold with the description. After downloading and using it to create some recipes, the timers and alerts on my iPhone 6s and Apple Watch were incredibly useful! But I found some room for improvement. A sync or share function would allow me to create recipes on my iPad and send it to my iPhone. A pause function would also be useful in case something takes longer to cook.
  • Solid app for sequencing cook times

    Well-made app for coordinating the timing of many dishes to a single "ready to serve" target time. Supports multiple stages of each food's process, allows saving of repeat performances. Don't skip the tutorial, very helpful to orientation.
  • Exactly What I Needed

    Purchased this app 3 days before Thanksgiving to organize the meal. Entering info was easy, and tutorial was very informative. I had a problem with sound not coming through and customer service responded within minutes of my email being sent. (Ipad sound setting issue, not app.) I just completed a dry-run of thanksgiving day meal on the app, and it was everything I was looking for.
