Overview
Holiday Dinner Planner is an iPhone app in development for cooking a big meal on time. Tell it when you're eating and what's on the menu, and it works backward to a single kitchen timeline covering preheating, oven temperature changes, burners, resting and prep, for one oven or two.
On the day, it sends a reminder for every step, shows the next step in large type in Cook Mode, and replans the steps that depend on a delay when something runs late. Each dinner is saved, so next year's plan starts from this one.
- Who it’s for
- Anyone cooking Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or another big dinner, especially with one oven to share between dishes.
- The problem it solves
- Several dishes at different oven temperatures, a limited number of burners and one fixed dinner time make a big meal hard to schedule by hand.
Key capabilities
- A timeline worked backward from dinner time, for one or two ovens
- Oven temperature changes, burners, resting and prep scheduled together
- Kitchen conflicts identified, with a suggested fix
- A reminder for every step, even with the phone locked
- Cook Mode: the next step in large type, with the screen kept awake
- Running late? Only the steps that depend on the delay move
