What is Cook Mode on Drizzlelemons?

Cook Mode is a full-screen, step-by-step cooking view. It displays one method step at a time in large, easy-to-read text. You swipe or tap to advance through the recipe, and built-in countdown timers start with a single tap.

Does Cook Mode keep my screen on while cooking?

Yes. Cook Mode automatically enables a wake lock so your screen stays on the entire time you are cooking. You never have to tap your phone with messy hands to wake the display.

How do the built-in timers work?

Drizzlelemons automatically detects time references in recipe text like "bake for 25 minutes" or "simmer 10 mins". These appear as tappable countdown timers inside Cook Mode — tap once to start, and you will be alerted when time is up.

Is Cook Mode free to use?

Yes. Cook Mode is available for free with any Drizzlelemons account. Just save a recipe and tap the Cook Mode button to get started.
