What they did

1) Register at pansnap.app and have generation credits available; the maker says signup includes trial points. Take a photo showing the food in your fridge. 2) Submit the photo to generate a dinner menu from the detected ingredients. The described output contains two to four dishes designed to work together and share ingredients. 3) Keep the generation page open while the menu and cooking images finish. 4) Use the returned recipes and step photos for preparation, and the accompanying shopping list to identify what still needs buying.

How it went

The maker reports that people used an earlier version with three dishes and no photos, and that beta users preferred paying per use to a subscription.

Worth knowing

Raw versus cooked ingredients can be confused. Closing the tab can pause generation; the maker describes a background recovery queue that advances one abandoned task per minute.
