KitchenPad
The big problem when preparing the Christmas mega-feast is synchronising the timings for all the different dishes. My oven just has a single timer on it, so KitchenPad’s ability to create multiple timers is just what I need. The app has two main screens: the first provides a neat graphical display of the burners on your stove, …
Very nice.
My wife (and I) will love this at Christmas dinner time. Very useful app :)
Alphabetti spagetti...
I spilt some next to my laptop once. It almost spelt disaster.
point missed
"perhaps setting a primary timer for the six-hour turkey roast, which then triggers secondary timers that tell you when to put the roast potatoes and other items into the oven as well."
Certainly missing a trick there - When I first saw it I thought that was the very point of it -i.e. to set a target time for the dinner to be ready and prompt accordingly
Still maybe on the next version ?
My sister is an event planner
One Christmas I came back home to find MS Project plan for Christmas Day, complete with critical path analysis, allocated tasks and timings. Fearsome.
You Brits and your strange dishes
"Yorkshire Puds"
From UrbanDictionary.com:
Pud: A human male's penis
Funny, in the UK 'Yorkshire Puds' is slang for your balls.
Plus urbandictionary is hardly canonical.
If worst comes to the worst
You could always use the iPad as a chopping board.
die!
Nice to see you upholding the proud British stereotype and boiling your 'veggies' into submission. 7:15 for 'veggies' and 9:46 for 'carrots and sprouts'? Well, at least they'll be nice and chewable, I guess...
Not quite what most cooks need
The turkey will be ready in 4hrs 57mins but the veggies in 7mins? As 'a well wisher' correctly stated, they missed the chance of making a bang-on app here. Hold my calls and sack my cook......
This looks like a solution to a problem that nobody realised they had*
but the entire review was worth it for the Clarkson/Yorkshire Pudding Alert. Lovely work.
