KptnCook Plans Your Dinner, Right Down to the Purchase of Ingredients
iOS: We all have a few ready-made meals that we keep in our back pocket. But over time, they can grow old. KptnCook gives you some new recipes to try every day and also helps you plan them.
Three new recipes are published in the app every day, and they all differ in the time it takes to prepare. As such, it isn’t much different from any other recipe app, but it does have a number of features that make it different:
- Step-by-step instructions with photos
- Making a shopping list based on your chosen recipe
- The prices for each item on the list can be found at your nearest grocery store.
- Estimates how much each recipe will cost you
I have been using it for about a week and I love that it is a versatile tool. It helps me come up with new dishes to cook on the fly and then evaluate and buy the ingredients I need. It’s a great tool if you’re unsure of what to cook for dinner tonight, or if you’re looking to try something new. But if you prefer to plan your meals in advance, this may be too much for you at the last minute. Although you can save recipes to your favorites list in the app and then refer to them later.
A pricing tool is a great idea. You must allow him to access your location, and then he will find stores near you and add their prices for each item on your list. But I would love to see more stores as it only picked up Whole Foods and Safeway near me and I don’t shop at any of them. In an interview, the founders said they are working on adding new stores as well as creating an Android version.
The app is free, but there is an in-app purchase if you want to keep more recipes on your favorites list. To use it, you must connect it to Facebook or register using your email address.
