Placette is a cooking app in beta. It takes a recipe and runs it through a four-stage pipeline: it parses the ingredients, breaks each step into atomic actions, groups ingredients into named prep vessels, and then guides you through a distinct prep phase followed by a cook phase — the idea being that all the chopping, measuring, and grouping is done before the stove ever comes on.

What’s in this build to test:

•	Recipe import and parsing (paste or import any recipe)
•	Vessel grouping — the core feature, and the part I most want scrutinized
•	The prep → cook phase hand-off
•	Voice command-and-control during cooking (navigation + timers, on-device)

Suggested test cases:

•	Paste a recipe with 15+ ingredients and see whether the vessel grouping matches how you’d actually set up your bowls.
•	Try a recipe with ambiguous or compound ingredients (“1 onion, half diced half sliced”) and check whether parsing handles it.
•	Run the full prep phase, then move into cook mode, and judge whether the transition is clear.
•	Use voice commands mid-step with the screen at arm’s length.

Specific areas I’m seeking feedback on:

•	Technical implementation: parsing edge cases or grouping logic that breaks.
•	UX: whether the two-phase structure reduces or adds friction.
•	Design: clarity of the vessel/prep screens at a glance.
•	Device coverage: I’ve only verified on iPhone 16 Pro, so I’d especially value reports from smaller screens, non-Pro/older models, and devices without the Dynamic Island — layout and legibility in particular.

It’s free during beta, takes about two minutes to try, and I’m happy to test anyone else’s build in return.
