Cook once, eat well all week. Pick a batch menu, get one shopping list, and cook everything in a single guided session — the app works out the order so the oven, the pans and your hands are never idle. ONE SESSION, PLANNED FOR YOUR KITCHEN • Recipes are merged into one timeline: while the rice simmers, you chop; while the tray roasts, the chili bubbles. • Planned around what you have — number of burners, oven temperature and trays — so it never asks for three pans on two burners. • The same prep for several recipes is done once: "crush the garlic for 2 recipes". • Every step shows its own amount, never the total of the whole recipe. • Timers for the oven and the pot, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Close the app, lock your phone — the clock keeps going. ONE SHOPPING LIST • All ingredients of the week in one list, sorted by aisle, with amounts added up. • Tick things off in the shop, mark what's already at home, add your own items. • Shop together: share the live list with your household — ticks and new items show up on every phone. Or send it as text. • Cups and spoons in the US, grams and millilitres elsewhere. YOUR FRIDGE, SORTED • After cooking, every dish goes into your fridge with its portions and a use-by date. • Dates follow your country's official food-safety advice, counted from cooking. • The dish that goes off first is always at the top; eat a portion with one tap. • Freeze or thaw a dish with a swipe. YOUR RECIPES TOO • Write your own recipes or import one from a recipe website; they cook in the same session as the menus. • Calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving for every menu recipe (an estimate from USDA data). • A kid-friendly filter for menus families tend to love. HONEST TIMES • Your first session includes a 20% margin. After that, times follow your own pace. FOR YOUR DIET • Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or no pork. • Allergies kept apart where it matters: lactose and milk protein, peanuts and tree nuts. Allergy and diet filters are always free. FREE Starter menus, sessions of up to 3 recipes, your own recipes, the shopping list (shared or not), the guided session with timers, the fridge, and every diet and allergy filter. PREMIUM (monthly or yearly subscription) • All 59 menus and 100 recipes, and new ones as they come • Up to 6 recipes a session, for lunch and dinner • Freezer plan: portions the week won't reach in time go straight to the freezer • Reminders on the last day a dish keeps • "Eat next" widget NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS Your plans, recipes and fridge stay on your phone and work offline. Only a list you choose to share goes through our own sync service — no name, no account. No sign-up, no ads, no third-party analytics. Premium renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Batch cooking without the guesswork: two hours in the kitchen, five dinners ready for the week. Batch Cooking - Batcho gives you a ready-made session every week. Pick it, shop from a single list, then cook everything in one go by following a step-by-step game plan. No recipes to juggle, no wondering what comes next. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a session: a full batch cooking plan built around five dinners, with its total and active time. • Shop once: one grocery list sorted by aisle, scaled to your household, easy to share. • Cook with the game plan: one clear step at a time, timers that chain automatically, and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you can follow along with your iPhone locked. • Eat all week: your week guide tells you what to eat each night and reminds you when to take something out of the freezer. MADE FOR YOUR KITCHEN • Household from 1 to 8 people: every quantity adapts. • Your diet and allergies: sessions that don't fit are hidden. • Your equipment: sessions that need an oven, a blender or a food processor are flagged. • A new batch cooking session lands every week, with a reminder on your cooking day. • Works offline from the first launch. WHY BATCH COOKING Cooking every evening takes time you don't have. Batch cooking moves it to one session: fewer dishes, less food waste, and dinner sorted before the week even starts. Batcho requires a subscription to access sessions. Terms of Use: https://www.solis-apps.com/batcho/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.solis-apps.com/batcho/privacy
