ChillPlate

ChillPlate is a mobile + web app that helps home hosts time food so it lands on the table at the right temperature and in the right order. You enter your menu (store-bought or homemade), serving time, and any constraints (one oven, limited burners, small fridge). The app builds a realistic prep timeline: when to thaw, chop, preheat, bake, rest, plate, and when to pull cold items from the fridge so they’re not icy or warm. It includes a “party mode” checklist that pings you with only the next 1–2 actions so you’re not staring at a long plan. It also supports potlucks by assigning arrival and holding instructions to guests (e.g., “arrive at 6:20, keep covered, don’t refrigerate”). This is an AI + traditional app: AI generates the initial schedule; rules and timers keep it reliable.
