Cooking from your phone: beat the screen lock and the tiny text

Following a recipe on a phone usually means: screen locks at the exact wrong moment, text is too small to read from the counter, and you lose your place between steps — all with hands you don't want touching the screen.

What a real cook mode does

• Keeps the screen awake while you cook (browsers support this — no app needed).
• Enlarges the steps so they're readable from arm's length.
• Marks steps done with a single tap, so a glance shows where you are.

This works from a plain web page too — including a recipe someone shared with you by link — so the person cooking doesn't need an account or an install to get a proper hands-free view.
