Questions
What can I make with what I have in my fridge?
Take a photo of your fridge or pantry with FridgeChef. It lists the ingredients it can see, lets you fix the list, then suggests three dinners you can cook tonight, sorted by cook time, with step-by-step instructions and a short list of anything missing.
Is FridgeChef free?
Yes. You get 3 fridge scans a month free, with no signup. FridgeChef Pro ($6.99/month or $69.90/year) adds unlimited scans, dietary filters, saved recipes, a “use it before it expires” mode and a weekly meal plan.
Can I type ingredients instead of taking a photo?
Yes. Choose “Type ingredients instead” and enter what you have, separated by commas.
Do you keep my fridge photos?
No. Photos are sent to our AI provider only to read the ingredients and are not stored by FridgeChef. We keep the ingredient list so we can count your free scans.
Does it work for vegetarian, high-protein or dairy-free diets?
Yes, with FridgeChef Pro you can set dietary filters so every suggestion fits.
