A pantry item is anything you buy or cook with — flour, apples, paper towels. Pantry items and recipes live together on the Kitchen tab; tap Pantry at the top to see only pantry items.

  1. On the Kitchen tab, tap + and choose New Pantry Item.
  2. Type its name, and its brand and package size if you like.
  3. Tap the checkmark (or Done).

To change an item later, tap it to open its screen, then tap the pencil button (Edit). To delete one, touch and hold it on the Kitchen tab and choose Delete.

On an item’s edit screen, Can Go on Meal Plans and Can Be a Recipe Ingredient decide where it can be picked. Turn them off for things like dish soap that you only ever shop for.

For food you cook from a package, like a frozen pizza, turn on Include Prep/Cook Details on its edit screen and fill in the oven temperature and the prep and cook times. When it’s planned, its times count toward how long the meal takes to make and when to start cooking.
