Startup Idea: Kitchen Hacks Application

Startup idea to develop an application that provides solutions for common cooking mistakes and offers creative substitutions when certain ingredients are unavailable. The app will be packed with ‘kitchen hacks’ to rescue overcooked food, suggest alternative ingredients and offer general cooking guidance to prevent cooking disasters.

I wish that there was an app or software program that could assist you in the kitchen with cooking blunders. I would like a sort of "kitchen hacks" approach. For instance, you are cooking for Thanksgiving, it's after twelve noon, all the grocery stores are closed and you have overcooked the ham, what do you do? Don't worry! This app tells you how a simple syrup, water, juice concoction (all things you probably have in your kitchen) can make a liquid rehydrator for that dry ham and it's as good as new. Or, you have to finish that pie but you don't have nutmeg. Don't worry, a mixture of all spice and cinnamon can be used as a substitute for nutmeg, or a smaller portion of ginger. I think a lot of people "mess" up when cooking and don't know how to "fix" the problem without starting all over, or how to substitute when you are out of something, but as an avid cooking show watcher, I know there are absolutely "kitchen hacks" and this should be something people have access to.
