Plan your week
Planning a few meals ahead can make the entire week easier. Build your week around recipes you actually want to cook, whether you're planning every breakfast, lunch, and dinner or just trying to get the next few dinners sorted.
Use the free meal planner to add recipes to your week, move meals around as plans change, and keep everything you intend to cook in one place.
Shop once
Once you know what you're cooking, figuring out what to buy shouldn't mean opening every recipe and copying ingredients one at a time.
Choose the recipes you're making and Plan n Cook can combine their ingredients into one consolidated grocery list, merging overlapping items and organizing everything into useful shopping categories.
Use what you have
Salt. Olive oil. Pasta. Spices. Half a bag of rice. It's easy to buy the same staples again simply because you don't remember what's already at home.
Keep a simple pantry inventory in Plan n Cook so you know what you have before you shop. When your pantry is saved to your account, Plan n Cook can account for those staples when creating shopping lists—helping you buy what you actually need instead of duplicates.
Cook the right amount
Recipes don't always make the amount you need. Instead of doing fraction math in your head, change the number of servings and let Plan n Cook recalculate the ingredient quantities for you.
Use the recipe serving calculator to scale a recipe up for guests or meal prep—or down when you're cooking for fewer people.
Plan n Cook brings the pieces of home cooking together. Find recipes, plan your meals, keep track of what's already in the kitchen, build the grocery list, and cook the right amount.
