Frequently Asked Questions

Holia is an iOS cooking app that provides personalized step-by-step video guides adapted to your specific kitchen equipment. Whether you have an induction cooktop or a gas stove, Holia adjusts every recipe to help you cook it right, first try.

Most cooking apps give you one-size-fits-all recipes. Holia adapts every step to YOUR kitchen — your cooktop, your cookware, your experience level. Plus, you get video and image guides for every cooking phase, not just a list of text instructions.

We currently focus on Chinese cuisine with verified core recipes including fried rice, tomato & egg, stir-fry noodles, smashed cucumber, and more dishes added regularly. Pro members can generate personalized guides for any dish from any cuisine.

Yes. The free plan includes 4 complete recipes with full video guides, Kitchen Profile, Cook Mode, and result-sharing cards. No credit card needed, no time limit.

Your Kitchen Profile tells Holia about your cooktop (gas, induction, electric), cookware (wok, non-stick, cast iron), and experience level. It takes 30 seconds to set up, and every recipe automatically adapts to your specific setup.

Holia works with gas stoves, induction cooktops, electric stoves, and ceramic cooktops. For cookware, we support woks, non-stick pans, cast iron skillets, stainless steel pans, and more.

Yes. You can update your Kitchen Profile anytime — for example, if you buy new cookware or move to a kitchen with a different cooktop. All recipes will automatically re-adapt.

Every core recipe is built using structured cooking data and verified through real kitchen testing across multiple equipment setups. We test with induction cooktops, electric stoves, and gas stoves to make sure the instructions actually work.

Every recipe is broken into 5 stages: Prep (images showing what to cut), Cook (video showing the cooking process), Assemble (video for combining elements), Plate (image of the final look), and Rest (image of the resting state). The right media type for every cooking phase.
