Cooking and Kitchen Tools
5 tools, free and without ads.
Four tools that are really one workflow. You collect recipes, adjust them to the number of people actually eating, decide what happens on which day, and leave the house with a list.
They are built to be used in that order and to hand off to each other, which is unusual for a set of free web tools — most make you retype everything at each step.
Every tool in Cooking
Your personal recipe manager. Save, organize, and search recipes. Group them into boards like "Weeknight Dinners" or "Mom's Recipes."
Scale recipe ingredient quantities up or down. Handles fractions, mixed numbers, and ranges.
Plan your meals for the week, build a reusable recipe library, and generate a grocery shopping list.
Manage your standing grocery list, flag sale items and deals, track shopping trips, and get smart restock suggestions.
Work out how many pizzas to order for a group, with slices per person, leftovers and a topping split.
How the four fit together
Recipe Box — the library. Recipes you save stay in your browser, and it is the one tool here with optional sync, so a phone in the kitchen and a laptop on the sofa can see the same collection.
Recipe Scaler — the arithmetic a doubled recipe needs. Scaling is not always linear in practice — cooking times, pan sizes and seasoning rarely double cleanly — so treat a scaled quantity as the starting point it is.
Meal Planner — turns a pile of recipes into a week. It is the step that stops the collection being decorative.
Grocery List — what the week becomes at the shop, organised by aisle so you are not walking the store twice. It can be shared, which is the one place in this category where something leaves your device — and only when you ask it to.
