Cooking Capsules streamlines the process of recipe planning and cooking with the “encapsulation” of a mini cooking show, tools for shopping, and a checklist containing each recipe step. Simply “Watch, Shop, and Make” using your phone as your fancy little cooking sidekick. You may also wish to “encapsulate” your own recipes into “Caplets” so you’ll never forget that magic ingredient or recipe step again. Share your favorite Cooking Capsules goods with your friends.
