Back-scheduled meal timeline
Choose a serving time and Mise works backward to place each dish and its preparation steps. The timeline shows each dish separately and distinguishes hands-on work from hands-free time.
Mise
Freemium
Mise is a browser-based meal-timing planner that schedules multiple dishes backward from a chosen serving time. It helps home cooks coordinate preparation, cooking, resting, and serving so a meal is ready together.
What is Mise?
Mise is a free, browser-based meal-timing planner for coordinating several dishes around one serving time. Start with a Robot Recipes recipe, accept or adjust suggested menu items, choose how many people you are feeding, and set when you want to eat. Mise then schedules each dish backward from that time, separating hands-on work from oven, simmering, resting, chilling, or proving time.
The result is a single meal plan rather than separate recipe instructions: a timeline, ordered cooking sequence, combined shopping list, tools list, cooking mode, and printable or PDF-friendly sheet. You can also add dishes without a recipe by entering their estimated active and passive times, or share a saved plan through an unlisted link.
Mise runs in a web browser without an account or app installation. Cooking mode works without a connection after the plan has loaded, but the generated timing is only an estimate and may need adjustment for different ovens, cookware, ingredients, or kitchen conditions.
What can Mise do?
Menu suggestions and custom dishes
Start from a recipe and let the service suggest accompanying dishes. You can remove suggestions or add your own items, including dishes with no recipe, by supplying estimated hands-on and hands-free durations.
Merged, scaled shopping list
Set the number of servings and the plan scales quantities across the menu, combining ingredients from different dishes into one shopping list that can be checked off.
Cooking mode
A full-screen view presents the current instruction one step at a time, attempts to keep the display awake where the browser permits, and beeps when a step is due.
Printable and shareable plans
The plan can be printed or saved as a PDF, including the running order, shopping list, tools, and checkboxes. Saving creates an unlisted link that others can open.
Hands-on conflict detection
Mise places dishes and shifts timing to reduce overlapping active steps. If a collision cannot be avoided, it identifies the conflicting steps and their scheduled time instead of hiding the conflict.
Use Cases
“Coordinating a multi-dish dinner”
Anchor the plan with a main recipe, add suggested sides or other dishes, and schedule preparation so cooking, resting, and serving converge at one mealtime.
“Cooking with one active cook”
Use the hands-on markers and ordered action list to see when chopping, searing, plating, or other active work is required, while passive cooking continues in parallel.
“Planning dishes outside the recipe library”
Add items such as gravy, rice, bread, or warming plates even when they do not have a Robot Recipes page, then provide rough active and passive timings for the schedule.
“Shopping and preparing ahead”
Scale the menu to the number of diners, use the merged ingredient list while shopping, and print or save the plan for use at the counter.
“Sharing a kitchen plan”
Send an unlisted plan link to another cook so they can open the same menu and view its schedule adjusted to their own clock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mise require an account or app?
No. Mise is presented as a web page with no login and no app installation. The site says plans remain on the device unless you choose to save one as an unlisted link.
What does Mise use to estimate cooking time?
It reads each recipe's instructions and breaks them into timed blocks, marking steps that need active attention separately from hands-free periods such as roasting, simmering, resting, chilling, or proving. Actual timing can vary by oven, cookware, and ingredients.
Can I add a dish that is not in Robot Recipes?
Yes. Use the custom-dish option to enter the item and provide or adjust its hands-on and hands-free minutes. This supports additions such as gravy, rice, garlic bread, or warming plates.
What happens when two active steps overlap?
Mise attempts to move dishes earlier to prevent hands-on steps from colliding. If a conflict cannot be resolved, the plan identifies the two steps and their time so you can move the meal later or delegate one task.
Can cooking mode work without an internet connection?
The site says cooking mode needs no connection once the page has loaded. It shows the current step, can keep the screen awake where the browser permits, and beeps when a step is due.
