'In The Kitchen' is an app from Food Network that recently launched a new feature called 'Cook With Me,' that makes it possible for users to activate voice commands for a hands-free cooking experience.
With the new Cook With Me recipes, users are able to interact with Sage, who narrates recipes to provide a seamless step-by-step cooking experience. As it stands, there are currently five recipes that can be narrated by Sage, including: Shrimp Scampi and One-Pot Spaghetti. Since iPhones and iPads are commonly used in the kitchen for following recipes, this new tool helps at-home chefs reduce the spread of messes.
Some of the other noteworthy features on the app include recipes sorted by Shows on the Food Network, as well as the ability for In The Kitchen app users to create curated collections and grocery shopping lists.
