I use 6 items at the moment. I only have basic ingredients like pasta and vegetables. The rest I tweak at the moment I need it.

Dummy option is a possible solution. I have just added a "Choose Dish" "00:00:00" to the top of my list. Works OK.

How about an idea for a more elegant solution...

Dummy option that can't be removed as above called Clear. This changes to "Choose DIsh" "00:00:00".

If you change the time to 00:00:00 reset name to "Choose Dish" (dummy/clear option).

If you change the time from 00:00:00 manually, prompt for two options:- edit list (jumps to a new edit item slot) or skip (Changes name to "Custom Timer")
The first two sound most viable to me.

Edit: Also is there a reason why the edit list is only 15 items long?
Did you finally find out I use the code "if user == 'sixwheeledbeast' then max_items = 15 else max_items = 30".??

I programmed it so I can be flexible with the amount of items, but as I said, I only use 6 now. More items means more scrolling (in the edit menu at least). What's your suggestion?
