Google has announced that the Google Assistant on Google Home can now help you with your cooking as it has the ability to give you recipe instructions whilst you are cooking.
You can now pick a recipe using Google Assistant on your Android smartphone or using Google Search on iOS or Android and then send the recipe to your Google Home device.
Cooking with Google Assistant
But what if you could listen to a recipe and your favorite music, all at the same time? To help you perfect your kitchen skills, we’re introducing the ability to cook with the Google Assistant on Google Home.
Thanks to Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Food Network and more, you’ll be able to follow step-by-step cooking instructions for more than 5 million recipes. Creating your next banana bread masterpiece or stuffed chicken valentino for a dinner party feast will be easier than ever.
Imagine you’re in the kitchen, hands covered in flour, and you need to know the next step in your recipe. Instead of fumbling with your phone or cookbook, you can simply ask Google Home to read the next step. This hands-free convenience is a game-changer for home cooks, especially when multitasking.
How to Use the Recipe Feature
To use this feature, start by finding a recipe on your Android smartphone or through Google Search on iOS or Android. Once you’ve selected your recipe, you can send it directly to your Google Home device. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Find a Recipe: Use Google Assistant on your smartphone or Google Search to find a recipe you want to try.
2. Send to Google Home: Once you’ve found the perfect recipe, tap the “Send to Google Home” button.
3. Start Cooking: In your kitchen, say “Ok Google, start cooking” to begin the recipe instructions.
4. Follow Along: Google Home will guide you through each step, allowing you to ask for repeats or clarifications as needed.
This feature is not just limited to main courses. Whether you’re baking desserts, preparing appetizers, or mixing cocktails, Google Home has you covered. The integration with renowned sources like Bon Appetit and The New York Times ensures that you have access to high-quality, tested recipes.
Additional Features and Benefits
Beyond just reading recipes, Google Home can set timers, convert measurements, and even suggest substitutions for ingredients you might not have on hand. For example, if you run out of buttermilk, you can ask Google Home for a substitute, and it might suggest using milk with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
Moreover, Google Home can play your favorite cooking playlist or podcast while you cook, making the experience more enjoyable. You can control the volume, skip tracks, or pause the music without ever touching your device.
For those who love to entertain, Google Home can also help you plan your meals. You can ask for recipe ideas based on the ingredients you have, or get suggestions for dishes that pair well together. This can be particularly useful for holiday meals or dinner parties.
