Recipe Next Step/Ingredient Command doesn't work

jesuismoi7 — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 20:10:50 GMT

When using Google Home Mini to cook, it has become pretty useless. I send the recipe from my phone, it starts to read it, gets through the first step or ingredient, can continue on to the next if I ask before it stops listening. But if it stops listening, when I then say "Ok/Hey Google, next ingredient" it either doesn't understand, or finds a recipe with the word "ingredient" in the title. If I say "Ok/Hey Google, next step" it finds Places with the word "next" or "step" in the title. This has been going on for months now, with both of my speakers.

I am having the same issue. Any solution?

I have the same issue and wish it would work again. It was always a bit frustrating that it wouldn't just read the whole ingredient list to you, but at least it used to work at all.

Cookbook recipe collection

KristanKremer — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 22:08:27 GMT

Nest Hub Max

I have our frequently used recipes saved in our Cookbook collection. I can't figure out the right combination of words to get my assistant to find a specific recipe I have saved and open it in the cooking mode. I've tried "Hey Google, show me <recipe name> from my Cookbook" and other similar phrases. Assistant always brings up suggestions from the web.

I can get to the recipe eventually by asking to open the Cookbook amd then scrolling through looking for it. Once I've got it open, it doesn't recognize any of the commands found on the Cookbook page.

To close the recipe, I try to tap the "I'm done" link at the bottom of the screen but it typically says it doesn't understand (I can't remember the exact phrasing right now).

Is there anything I can do to get this function working? So far most of the reasons why I purchased this thing are not working out like I expected (won't play a specific playlist of saved videos in YouTube, can't view my calendar in month mode, and now the cooking mode is essentially useless). I love Google products and want it to work, but it's getting frustrating.

Same issue here.. ended up finding the recipe from my computer in the next room. I remember the first time I used this function, it used to work great. Now I was tempted to throw google in the blender with the rest of the ingredients.

I have started trying recipes regularly and saying "report a problem" when it stalls. It is a shame to lose this function.

Same question here, waiting for an answer.

Fuchsia crippled recipes in Hub

goldbug — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 17:16:24 GMT

Ever since the Fuchsia "upgrade", the recipes functionality in Nest Hub is crippled.

I search for a recipe and start a recipe, then I say "ok google, next step", and instead of going to the next step, it says "here are some search results for next step", and does a google search for "next step" very frustrating.

Also, when I click on the button on the screen to add a recipe to my cookbook, it says "Sorry I don't understand". I am not even saying anything, I am clicking on the button on the screen.

Cooking with recipes broken?

NestPenguin — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 15:12:52 GMT

When starting a recipe, which I've never tried before, Google Assistant asks me to say, 'next step' when I want to continue. When I say, 'next step' it doesn't respond, and if I say, 'hey Google, next step' it searches for films and music called 'Next Step'

Anything that can be fine about this? It's basically rendered it useless for that purpose

FYI to everyone else on here, Google support finally contact me directly, over 6 weeks after being told I was assigned a support case number. After having me do a factory reset, then telling me what commands I'm supposed to be using (which I've been using for years before this stopped working, and explicitly stated in my support request), I was told "this is a feature that needs an enhancement and improvement from our device developer and engineering team. With that being said, please send feedback. Just say: "Hey/Okay Google, send feedback" and add the short description of your issue that needs to be improved.". In other words, this feature stopped working, they don't know how to fix it, and we all need to just keep reporting like we've already been doing for months and maybe they'll eventually figure it out.

Mine now plays 'The Next Step' show on netflix.

We also have a nest hub and I was looking at a recipe on it. Not all the ingredients/steps were shown. There were links to '+show more' under each list. Both links got me the response, "I don't understand".

Same problem here. It used to work great. Now it's an expensive paperweight. Very frustrating.

Hi there,

Apologies for the wait here, but appreciate your patience. The issues with Recipes and Commands are bug issues that we are aware of and our engineering team are working on a resolution for. We appreciate the wait and while we don't have an ETA on this, please let us know if you are still experiencing an issue with this.

Best regards,

Garrett DS

"the next command" is also not working for music at least in my case!

Same here for all of the above. It doesn't work like this video claims. https://youtu.be/XHcpFziNFXY

Yep. My Home Hub stopped working with recipes about 6 months ago (or more..I can't remember). We tried to fix by resetting, power cycling etc, but to no avail. I was thinking of getting a Nest Hub Max to replace my Home Hub, but if that recipe functionality is not there, I can't justify the extra money. The recipe feature is very important to us. How important is it to Google?

I upgraded to the Max to see if the cooking issues were unique to the Gen 2. Doesn’t work on my Max. They should stop advertising features that don’t work
