The problem
Generic troubleshooting lists often mix symptoms that look similar but have different causes. That makes people change several things at once and never learn what actually failed.
About the project
Cooking advice built around the failure, not the feed.
CookClue is a search-first troubleshooting reference for the moment a recipe or cooking process does not turn out the way you expected.
The approach
CookClue connects food → symptom → likely causes → confirmation checks → rescue → prevention, then links nearby diagnoses when the symptom does not match.
The standard
Source review is required. First-hand testing is labeled honestly. Original comparisons and failure photos are added where they materially improve the diagnosis.
The goal
Leave the page knowing what is most likely, what to test next, and what not to change blindly. If no branch fits, CookClue should say so and collect the gap.
