Cook’n is like a Swiss Army knife: it has a ton of tools, but we’ve never looked at half of them, and though we’ve seen some tools, we don’t know how to use some of them. For the most part, that seems acceptable when we get what we want from Cook’n. However, have you ever considered that Cook’n might make your life even better?

Cook’n has five primary purposes. If you have never heard of or tried these purposes, today is the perfect day to check them out!
