Kitchen for iPhone help and support

Open the recipe in Chrome on your computer with Oven to Air Fryer Conversion, Recipe Converter or Sourdough Calculator. Click Open on your phone and scan the QR code with your iPhone camera, then tap the link. The recipe appears in Kitchen under Sent from Chrome: tap Save to keep it, or Open to cook it right away. In Kitchen, + › From Chrome (QR) shows these steps too.

Tap Open in Kitchen on that page. If Kitchen is not installed, the page shows the recipe in Safari and a link to Kitchen. Nothing is lost either way: the recipe is inside the link itself.

The recipe travels inside the link, and a QR code holds only so much: for long recipes the extension shortens the steps and says so under the code. If the link was cut off when you copied it, send it again from the extension.

Open the recipe page in Safari, tap the Share button and choose Kitchen. Kitchen reads the recipe, shows it converted for your air fryer and saves it with a link to the site. It works the same from other apps that share a link or text.

Scroll the row of app icons in the share sheet to the end and tap More, then turn on Kitchen (tap Edit to move it to the front). Open Kitchen once after installing it if it still does not appear.

Yes. In Kitchen, tap + on Recipes and choose Paste a recipe link or Paste recipe text. For text, paste the title, the ingredients and the steps, each ingredient and each step on its own line.

Kitchen reads the standard recipe data that most cooking sites publish for search engines. Some pages don't have it, or only list several recipes. Open the recipe's own page, try another site, or copy the recipe and use Paste recipe text.

Kitchen asks for notifications (and, on iOS 26 or later, for alarms) when you start your first timer. If you said no, turn them on in Settings › Kitchen. With alarms allowed, the end of a timer sounds even when the app is closed or the iPhone is on silent. Without them it is a notification: check that the ring switch is on and that a Focus does not silence Kitchen.

These reminders are notifications, also when alarms are allowed. Turn on Settings › Kitchen › Notifications, and allow Kitchen in any Focus you use while cooking.

Turn on Settings › Kitchen › Live Activities. The Dynamic Island appears only on iPhones that have one; on other iPhones the timer shows on the Lock Screen. To pause or resume a timer without opening the app, use its button on the Lock Screen or touch and hold the Dynamic Island.

Yes. Each timer counts down to a fixed time, so it keeps going when you switch apps, lock the iPhone or close Kitchen, and it is still there when you open the app again.

Kitchen's times come from a sourced table inside the app and are shown as a range with a time to start checking. Every air fryer is different: set your basket size and hottest setting in My kitchen (the gear on Recipes), and check that food is cooked through.

On Recipes, touch and hold the recipe, then tap Delete.

Not in this version. Everything stays on this iPhone. Deleting the app deletes your recipes, so keep the app installed if you want to keep them.

English, German and Russian for now. Recipes can be imported from sites in other languages, but their ingredients may stay as written.
