Fridge Folio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Reserve pantry quantities for named meals, see what remains available, and record cooking without counting the same ingredients twice. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Meal Reservations and create a meal using existing pantry items and matching units. 2. Review reserved and available quantities before confirming. Overbooked or invalid quantities are refused. 3. Cook the meal to deduct its ingredients once, or keep it planned. Include plans in household backups. Kitchen inventory, use-first planning and shopping workflows remain available. Household backup now includes meal plans. WHAT TO KNOW Quantities and dates are entered by you. Reservations do not assess freshness, allergens or food safety. Inspect food and follow authoritative storage guidance. Cooking requires the original items and sufficient stock. iPhone and iPad.
