Your recipe tells you how.
This tells you where you are in the process.

Long cooks are won and lost on attention you do not have to spare. Log what you see, and it keeps track of the rest — so the six hours you spend with everyone else are not six hours of wondering.

Where am I?

Your position on the map of the cook, not a wall of numbers.

What do I do next?

One next action, and when it is actually due.

Is dinner still on time?

A projection that updates every time you log a reading.
