# Start Cooking

Recipes features a hands-free mode to help you with recipe directions when you want to cook a recipe. Hands-free mode makes it easy to view the steps to make a recipe, including starting timers or seeing photos of each step, if they were included in the recipe.

To start cooking with hands-free mode:

Open the recipe you want to cook.

Press the Start Cooking button in the top right corner.

Recipes will change to full screen mode, also known as hands-free mode and display the first step to cook the recipe.

To move to the next step of the recipe, press any key on the keyboard.

To move to the previous step, press the left arrow key on the keyboard.

To start a timer, press the Start button or Spacebar. Once you have started a timer, you can press Pause to pause the timer or Reset to re-start the timer from the beginning. You can have multiple timers running and the names of the step associated with each timer will be shown in the upper left corner of Recipes. When the timer is done, your computer will beep and Time is up! will be shown.

When a timer is running, the name of the timer will be shown in the upper left corner of hands-free mode. You can move to the next steps while a timer is running.

To move to the next step of the recipe, press any key on the keyboard.

When you have completed all the steps or to exit hands-free mode at any time, press the Escape key or press the x button in the top-right corner.
