Steak Timer

Steak Timer helps you cook perfect steaks every time! Select the thickness of steak, desired doneness and let Steak Timer do the rest (Except physically cook your food).
Push the home button to run in background while you do other things on your phone, and it will notify you when the steak needs to be flipped or is done!


Someone asked for this app in an Android forum so I decided to give it a shot and this is what I came up with. If you have no idea how to cook a steak this is very helpful. Mostly for beginners. Going to be updated with nice graphics soon.

Thanks Douglas,

Yes I have seen that comment about metric units and I will probably implement them when I get around to putting in better graphics as well.

I was also thinking of making more functionality by maybe including chicken/lamb/etc, but I think i will create a new app just for that. I like how simple this app is =)

Thanks for the comment! I'll look into the developer community.

Sounds good ;) I could probably whip one up in a day. I'll see if there aren't some already on the market =P

Thanks for the idea!

I was thinking of making a general timer for all sort of food like lamb, steak, chicken, roasts =P

I'll post it here when I get around to it ;)

Added Celsius, forgot about converting the inches until after I released the update. I think i'll make a page directly after the splash page asking if you want Metric or Imperial.

Soon to be released Steak Timer Plus! Includes multiple timers and updated graphics. Will be $0.99 on the Android Market in a few days. Will update when released.

Steak Timer Plus released. And yes Douglas the metric units made it in as well although a little tacked on but in happy with it.

Check it out! =P

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

Yes a bunch of people have been telling me to make a multiple food timer. Jay I like your idea about having your own recipe and being able to incorporate timers into it. Although that seems like a lot of coding work....

Right now it does multiple timers meaning if someone wants their steak rare, and someone wants it medium rare, you can have 2 separate timers going to keep track of each steak. I had about 4 comments of people saying they would like to have multiple timers meaning different steaks at a time. At the moment it just counts down, but my friend suggested to have it so it will tell you when to put the different steaks on to have them finish all at the same time.

As for multiple temperatures its hard to do, I only have the formula for high temperature (about 450F) I would need multiple databases for multiple cooking temps and its just a headache. Most steaks are cooked at high temp on the BBQ anyways.

Sucks that i'm in school right now so I don't have time to sit down and crank these improvements out but I will try.

Again thanks for all the feedback!
