One thing that I'd like to suggest is to make the questions a bit less ambigious / more straight forward. E.g. One of the questions is "Which part of an upright blender is the most dangerous?". My initial reaction was the blades but apparently the answer was steam. In this case, I'd suggest rephrasing the question to "Which part of an upright blender is the most dangerous with hot liquid in is most dangerous".
Thanks, I've re-posted this in our feedback channel on Slack.

Thanks for sharing about willingness to pay — the bete noire of consumer apps :) One of our eventual goals is to transition to a creator-driven system where anyone can teach others about how to cook, and monetize that too. There is so much food knowledge hiding all over the world waiting to be shared.
Yea that could work. I was thinking like, “This is how Kenji Lopez breaks down his salad recipes so he can get creative with what’s in his pantry”

#54I found duolingo extremely frustrating when I tried to practice a language I already had some knowledge in. It forced me to do a bunch of stuff I didn't care about. As most people will have some knowledge of cooking I think applying this concept to cooking is a bad idea.

#55Took me way to long to unlock a recipe. But, the questions were good. Where is my skip to recipe button?
Our recipes are actually pretty simple and not particularly special in any way. It's about the journey, not the destination ;-)

#56I love this! Already completed the "Scrambled Eggs" series. I really enjoy cooking and this is a fun way to enhance my skills, thank you!

#57Is this sort of like a meal service without the delivery of ingredients?

#58That would be a pity.

#59I haven't seen this asked or answered anywhere and am curious - how do you guys plan to make this profitable? Charging for more "advanced" features? Ads?
I already have the Duolingo owl chasing after me for money (and more time).

#60What I really need is a browser extension that recognizes I'm on a recipe website and automatically scrolls past the recipe writer's whole autobiography to the section with the ingredients and instructions.
There are dozens of variants of this app, here's one built by a friend of mine: http://getrecipecart.com/ Like colpabar said, I think this is somewhat of a problem for experienced cooks but it's not the main issue faced by beginners, nor a big pain point. I believe this is true because I saw at least 20 startups build some version this in 2020-2021 and they mostly perished in the idea maze.
