Timers from steps

You can set timers in the recipe form on your phone and in the browser, but they only count down in cooking mode in the mobile app.

Pinning a timer to a step

1. Open the recipe, choose Edit, and go to the steps.
2. Type a step with a time in it, e.g. “Bake for 25 minutes”. After a moment (“Analyzing text…”) Detected — tap to pin appears under the step with the times it found.
3. Tap a time to pin it. Pin all pins all of them at once.
4. Pinned timers are listed under Timers below the step.

Add a time that isn’t in the text with Other. In the New timer window you set the Timer name, Time and Sound alarm (“Notify when the time is up”), then Add timer.

If you edit the step so that the time disappears from the text, Przepisnik asks whether to keep the timer: Keep or Remove timer.

When you import a recipe from a link or paste a recipe, Przepisnik also finds times in the text — in the form they wait as suggestions to pin.

Starting it in cooking mode

1. On your phone, open the recipe and tap Start cooking.
2. In the step text, pinned times are buttons. Tap one to start the timer.
3. Several timers can run at once, and they keep counting while you move to other steps.

The first time, Przepisnik asks about Timer notifications — “We’ll let you know when the timer is done — even with the screen locked.” If you choose Not now, the timer only rings while the app is open.

A timer without a recipe

Just need to count down? The Guide has a separate Timer with ready settings for eggs and pasta.
