Google Home becomes an Extra Kitchen Helper

Google Home is getting an upgrade with the launch of a “start cooking” command. The home system already provides independent cooking recipe integrations. All that is needed is for the user to select their desired recipe from their mobile and select “Send to Google Home”. The recipe will then be loaded onto the system for whenever you need to cook.

Once the kitchen is set up and you are good to go, just say “OK Google, start cooking”. This launches Google Home to provide you with step-by-step instructions. The system is also able to multitask so you don’t have to only have it recite your recipe but also play music, answer questions from the Assistant as well.

The recipe database supports Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Food Network and much more. These are already big name databases so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find your desired recipe or something new and exciting.

Google Home is useful for various tasks including: acting as a timer, providing measurements, and answering your questions. To add the ability to provide step by step instructions is a great addition for chefs who own Google Home. The new feature is set to roll out starting this week.
