Servings

Cooking for two? For eight? Tap the plus.

Every amount rescales and rounds to something you can actually measure. Spices and seasonings marked with a sparkle stay put, so a bigger batch doesn’t end up twice as hot.

Try it. These are the amounts from the butter chicken above.

3 servings

✦Chilli stays the same at any size. Taste, then add more if you like.

Everything you need between “ooh” and “dinner’s ready”

When one doesn’t work

She’ll tell you straight away

Some posts don’t have a recipe in them at all. Cooked says so, rather than inventing one. Share a different link to the same dish, or a screenshot of the recipe, and try again.

Questions

Straight answers

What does it cost?

Nothing while Cooked is in beta.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone on iOS 26 or newer, and Android 8 or newer.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up. On iPhone your recipes sync across your devices with iCloud.

Can my household share recipes?

Yes, on iPhone. Send an invite link and you share one set of recipes and one grocery list.

Does it work offline?

Your saved recipes, servings, groceries and cook mode all work without a connection. Saving a new recipe needs one.

What if a recipe comes out wrong?

Try sharing the original website instead of the video, or a screenshot of the recipe card. Cooked keeps the link to the source on every recipe so you can always check.
