FAQ

Can I paste multiple recipes?

Yes. Paste the ingredient lists from several recipes and the tool will try to combine similar items into one organized grocery list.

Can it suggest realistic grocery amounts?

Yes. When useful, the tool can turn recipe amounts into more practical shopping items, such as buying one garlic bulb instead of listing only a few cloves.

Can it remove pantry staples?

Yes. You can separate pantry staples, include everything, or exclude common basics like salt, pepper, water, and small seasoning amounts.

Should I double-check the list?

Yes. AI can make mistakes, especially with unusual recipe formatting, unclear quantities, package sizes, or ingredient substitutions. Always review the list before shopping.
