Get Pantry to Pan on your phone
Free, about a minute, and no app store needed. It installs straight from your phone's web browser and gets its own icon, full screen and timer alarms, just like any other app.

Open it and type your code

Install it
Once you're signed in, Chrome offers Install app at the bottom of the screen. Tap it. Not showing? Tap ⋮ (top right) → Add to Home screen → Install.
Pick Install, not Create shortcut. A shortcut opens a new Chrome tab every time you tap it, and Pantry to Pan won't show up when you tap Share.

Open it from your home screen
Look for the red P2P skillet named Pantry to Pan. The app opens full screen, with no address bar at the top.
See Chrome's address bar? That icon is a shortcut. Press and hold it, remove it, and open Pantry to Pan from your app list instead (you can drag it from there to your home screen).

Good to know
Why isn't it in the app store? Pantry to Pan is a web app: it installs from the browser, updates itself, and takes up very little space. Nothing to download from a store.
Timer alarms: in the app, turn on Settings → 🔔 Timer alarms on the lock screen so timers ring even when your phone is locked. On iPhone this needs iOS 16.4 or newer and the app on your Home Screen.
