# Add Cooking Directions

# Add steps

Press the New Recipe in the upper left corner of Recipes. In the Directions text box, type the steps needed to create the recipe. To separate each step, press Enter twice to create a new paragraph for each step. Recipes will automatically create a separate steps for each paragraph in your recipe. These steps will be used when it is time to cook using full screen mode in Recipes.

In each paragraph for each step, you can include the following tags for adding images, timers or temperature. You can only use an image or a timer, but not both in an individual step. The information in the tags will be available when viewing the recipe or when in hands-free mode. All tags are enclosed within brackets.

# Add timers

To create a timer, enter how long the timer should be within brackets. The format is [timer:hours:minutes:seconds, description].

Timer examples:

[timer:00:30, stir ingredients] - Stir ingredients for thirty seconds.

[timer:01:30, stir ingredients] - Stir ingredients for one minute and thirty seconds.

[timer:01:01:30, preheat oven] - Preheat oven for one hour, one minute and thirty seconds.

# Add images to each step

You can add an image or photo of the finished recipe and also a photo of each each step of making a recipe. See for how to add an image or images to your recipe.

To assign one of the photos you have added, you will need to know the image's number. Press the Add Image button at the bottom Recipes window. Thumbnails of each photo you have added will be displayed. The first image would be number one, the second would be number two and so on.

Add the tag [image:1] to add the first image to a step.

Add additional image tags with the correct number for as many steps as you wish.

# Temperature

You can add the temperature a step needs to be cooked at by adding a temperature tag.

Add the tag [temperature:200C]. You can set the temperature in Celsius with a C or Fahrenheit with an F following the temperature.
