Pantry Unlocker

Herb & Lime Lab

What should you buy next?

Tick what is already in your kitchen. We calculate which one, two or three added ingredients unlock the most of our recipes.

How to use: Search or scroll the ingredient list, tick what you have, pick a cuisine filter if you like, then tap "Find my best buys". Your pantry is saved on this device only.
Cuisine filter

Tick everything you already have at home. Staples like salt, water and cooking oil are listed too.

Based on our current collection of 30 recipes. A recipe counts as unlocked when every required and important ingredient is in your pantry; optional garnishes are ignored. Suggestions maximize the number of recipes that go from missing exactly one key ingredient to fully cookable.
