Don’t worry if this happens. The chef will make every attempt to call you back. If he/she is unable to due to poor network connectivity (within a reasonable time, say a couple of mins) they will message you the rest of the steps. If your food is on a high or medium flame, we suggest you put your burner on low heat until the network connection issue is worked out.
