Veggies. A simple and effective app that provides you with the cooking times of vegetables. Instantly learn how long your vegetables need to cook in either boiling water, the steamer or the microwave. Included are everyday vegetables such as broccoli and carrots but also less common vegetables such as, for example, okra and parsnip. The cooking times are based on today's taste, so "al dente" if possible. Veggies also provides some basic information or cooking tip for each kind of vegetable. Veggies is particularly useful when using your microwave, as the cooking time depends heavily on the amount of vegetables and the power of your microwave. Using veggies you can quickly and easily prepare a healthy meal with fresh vegetables! For more information: http://www.permanentmarkers.nl/veggies.html
OliveOilGuide

Most people can't tell good olive oil from bad — and the reports show it. The UC Davis Olive Center found roughly two-thirds of imported “extra virgin” oils on US shelves failed the extra-virgin standard, usually from age, heat, light, or a lower grade hidden behind marketing words. OliveOilGuide is the neutral pocket reference that teaches you to read any olive-oil bottle: cultivar, grade, harvest, polyphenols, the smoke-point truth, and what to pair it with. No bottle in hand required, and we don't sell oil — so the guidance is yours to trust. READ ANY LABEL A guided “Read a label” tool walks you through harvest date, dark glass, real origin, the extra-virgin grade, and the red flags (“pure”, “light”, “pomace”, suspiciously cheap). It tallies the answers into a plain-English Quality Read — and it works on any bottle, anywhere, offline. FORTY-PLUS CULTIVARS From Picual and Koroneiki to Arbequina and Taggiasca — each with nose, palate, intensity, a typical polyphenol band, food pairings, and how to use it (finishing vs cooking). Browse by region, cultivar, intensity, or high-polyphenol. THE SMOKE-POINT MYTH, SETTLED You can cook with extra virgin. We lay out the peer-reviewed truth — oxidative stability and fat profile matter far more than smoke point — instead of the internet's panic. ASK THE OIL SPECIALIST Which cultivar for grilled fish? Is that 18-month bottle still worth using? What does “high polyphenol” really mean? Ask in plain language and get a specific, sourced answer. WHY TRUST IT Every claim is traced to the International Olive Council, the UC Davis Olive Center, or EU food regulation. We recommend no brand and sell no oil — that lack of conflict is the whole point. FREE & PRO Free: browse all regions and the first eight cultivars in full detail, all three literacy tools, unlimited shelf saves, and 3 specialist questions a day. Pro ($9.99/month or $59.99/year) unlocks unlimited specialist questions and all forty-one cultivar entries in full detail. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Terms: https://oliveoilguide.uptrail.ai/terms Privacy: https://oliveoilguide.uptrail.ai/privacy
