How Sous Works

Multiple input methods for effortless tracking

Follow recipes in a dedicated cooking interface with prominent, easy-to-navigate steps. Use dictation for hands-free step reading, access built-in timers and unit converters, and enjoy future Siri and Apple Intelligence integration for voice control.
