hello Automators thanks for tuning in again I'm here in my kitchen today with
my Google Home Hub and my Lenovo Smart Display and what I'm going to do is show
you how you can use these great devices in your kitchen and I'm going to
specifically show you the new cookbook feature that is available on both of
these devices so let's get going the new cookbook feature by Google is an
incredible implementation of utilizing all of their search results on the
internet and a number of selected partners which I'll show on the screen
now but those partners and their recipe formats can now show up on these devices
the cookbook then allows you to save certain recipes that you love and that
you want to reference for later and it's all going into something called Google
collections for any demonstration that starts in the kitchen you're going to
need to know what you can get in terms of information off of these devices so
let's start with something simple like a measurement how many milliliters in a
cup one US cup equals two hundred thirty six point five eighty eight milliliters
convert grams to pounds one gram equals zero point zero zero two two pound so
you can see some very simple conversions that you can do here and that's really
the basis of some cooking recipes that you get now about those recipes this is
one of the most powerful features in the Google Home Hub and the Lenovo Smart
Display so let's go ahead and get a recipe and again we're using those
partner websites as we asked for this recipe we're just going to those partner
websites and then they're showing up on the screen show me recipes first
spaghetti okay here's some recipes no obviously I can go ahead and I can
scroll through all these different recipes you're seeing ratings as we go
through them all and then once I chew one I get a new interface then this new
interface will actually stay on the screen indefinitely whenever you're in
recipes and/or your cookbook the screen stays on indefinitely
now right off the bat you can see there's two buttons at the bottom of the
interface here you can start cooking with this recipe you can go through the
recipe a little more and you can also add it to cookbook immediately so if I
wanted to add this recipe for later or for another date I can go ahead and add
this to my cookbook so add this to my cookbook recipes say so
there you go now whenever I go into this recipe in my cookbook I can go ahead and
remove the item from my cookbook as well with just as simple of a command now
once I'm inside a recipe I can also go ahead and read more about it read the
steps and read the ingredients I'm going to need but once I'm ready to go ahead
and actually execute this as something I want to cook I can just ask Google to
start cooking so start cooking there are three ingredients you can ask for the
next ingredient or skip to the instructions the first ingredient is
three six ounce cans tomato sauce so very simple and now all I have to do is
say next ingredient if I want to use the interface on the screen I can go ahead
and do that as well but ultimately very simple for me to go to the next
ingredient so next ingredient the second ingredient is 8 ounces of spaghetti
noodles now as I go here let's say I know all the ingredients or I just want
to skip to the instructions I can go ahead and request that or I can go back
in previous ingredients with the same sort of command you can see the buttons
at the bottom right now so really great functionality for you to
make sure that everything is ready on your countertop or your space where
you're doing your cooking so skip to instructions
if for sex I'll read them one by one when you're ready to hear more you can
say next step first step cooking ounces of spaghetti noodles no add you go again
you can go ahead and skip to the next instruction you can skip back in
instructions if you want to preview things and just move back and forth in
between the whole recipe here additionally you have access to the
interface and you can go ahead and just move through the entire steps of your
recipe here as you tap on things it will move you down to the next part but it
doesn't read them out unless you actually request the next step here
please cook spaghetti noodles in a skillet on medium-high heat as I said
you can skip it back and forth using your voice or the buttons on-screen for
the next and the previous step so next step of tomato sauce and one cup of
Parmesan cheese the skillet so you can go ahead and get some additional
information you could also move back and forth between steps in a quicker way you
can ask specifically for a numbered step so
what's step two add three six ounces cans of tomato sauce and one cup of
Parmesan cheese to skillet now you can also ask things like how long it's going
to take you to prepare supper like this or to prepare this recipe you can ask
different cooking time serving time or total time and you can also ask for
information around calories and things like that now obviously once you're done
all of this and you've you've done all of your cooking you want to stop this
process because the screen does stay on for a long time so all you need to do is
say stop all right done now as we talked about before you want to be able to
access this cookbook and the cookbook is one of the most powerful things you're
not anymore going to need grandma's old little cookbook with all the different
recipes in it you can actually go and create recipes on one of these partner
sites and then share them or save them to your Google collection and they would
then show up here now I'm not saying go throw away grandma's old cookbook you
get in trouble for that but let's go ahead and open up our
cookbook now open my cookbook okay your good book so now again I have two
different items and I can go ahead and tap into any item on my in my cookbook
here I can go ahead and I could remove the item from cookbook and I can also
review the details and ask the different note of nutrition information how long
it takes to cook all those different things again and I can review what I
need I can also say start cooking and it will bring me back exactly to where we
were before when we were running a recipe start cooking before we start 350
degrees know I'm going to have to turn down the music here but I'm going to
show you that you can actually go ahead and start music and play music while
you're working with your smart display or your Google
home hub so start royalty-free music so while I have music actually playing here
I had to swipe back a couple of times to get back to the main page and then I
went back into my recipe here and once inside the recipe what I can do is I can
continue to run through with the next ingredient or the next step in the
process and I can also switch between songs if I'd like now what you have to
remember about using the command next is you're going to have to be specific
whether or not you want the next ingredient the next step or the next
song and really what Google tells you is make sure you're being specific about
next song so next ingredient now I know you can't really hear that but I will
turn it up and then I'll go to the next song to show you that that's working
next song
stop song so you can see as I'm specific with the word song I'm able to stop my
music I'm able to start it again if I'd like and I can go ahead and still
continue to cook there's also the new and improved shopping list capability on
the smart displays where you can actually interface with the device as
you add items and then in order to remove them you can actually just simply
tap on the items that you want to remove and the next time you access that
shopping list it will remove those and show your fully updated list so very
powerful for you to utilize within your kitchen there you have it guys this has
been my demo or tutorial for the Google Home Hub the Lenovo Smart Display and
the cookbook and recipe feature it's going to help you in the kitchen and
there's a lot of reasons to now put either of these two devices in your
kitchen and begin to use that cookbook functionality so thanks for watching and
we'll see you next time
