Abstract: A recipe is stored on a recipe framework. A user has one or more devices and one or more appliances. A recipe program presents recipe information using a device interface on a first device and/or on an appliance interface of a first appliance. The device or appliance interfaces track user interactions with the recipe program. A version of the recipe's progress and state is maintained in said framework. While the recipe is in progress, and in response to the user switching to a second device and/or appliance, presenting recipe information on the second device and/or appliance based on the version of the progress and state of the recipe maintained in the recipe framework. The second device or second appliance obtains the version of the progress and state from the recipe framework. The device and appliance user interfaces present a consistent and contextual view of the state of the recipe.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, using a weighing mechanism operatively connected to a weighing application. The method includes drawing a progress arc on a user interface of the weighing application, where the drawing is based on a non-linear function of the target weight (Wt) for the particular ingredient, a total angle to be drawn when the target weight (Wt) has been met, and the current weight (w) of the particular ingredient.
