StoveSteps

StoveSteps is a mobile app (with optional web companion) for true beginners who don’t know basic techniques. Instead of dumping full recipes, it teaches “micro-lessons” you can finish in 10–15 minutes: how to sauté onions without burning, how to tell chicken is done, how to boil pasta correctly, how to season as you go. Each lesson includes a short video, a tiny ingredient list, and a timed, step-by-step mode that adapts to your stove type and cookware. An AI coach can answer questions in plain language (“Is this browned or burnt?”) and help you recover when something goes wrong, but the core content is curated and repeatable. Progress is tracked as skills (not dishes), and the app suggests the next lesson based on what you have at home and what you’ve already mastered.
