Frequently asked questions
What can I cook with what I have?
Add the ingredients already in your kitchen to Pare, and it instantly matches them against recipes to show the meals you can cook right now. For dishes you are just one to three items short of, Pare lists exactly what is missing so nothing goes to waste.
How do I find recipes based on ingredients I already have?
Enter or scan your pantry items in Pare, then open “What Can I Cook?”. Pare ranks recipes by how well they match your ingredients, putting the meals you can make immediately at the top. It is free and needs no account.
Is there a free app that tells me what to cook with my ingredients?
Yes. Pare is 100% free and shows what you can cook from the ingredients you already have. There is no subscription, trial, or account required — just add your items and see matching meals in seconds.
Can I use up leftovers and pantry staples instead of shopping?
That is exactly what Pare is built for. It prioritizes recipes that use what you already own, helping you cook from leftovers and pantry staples, shop less often, and cut food waste while still eating well.
