Lock Screen

We've all been there – amidst the culinary hustle and bustle, your hands get covered in flour, sauce, or batter. The last thing you want is to smudge or dampen your phone screen when checking the next step of a recipe. Enter Stashcook's Screen Lock feature: designed with the home chef in mind. This feature allows you to lock your screen when following a recipe, preventing any unintended taps or swipes. No more messy screens or accidental exits from your recipe. With Stashcook's Screen Lock, your cooking process remains seamless, and your device stays clean.

Nutrition

Premium Required

Balancing taste and nutrition can sometimes be a culinary tightrope. Stashcook introduces the Recipe Nutritional Score feature to offer you clarity on the nutritional value of your meals. Leveraging a points-based system, the feature evaluates key nutrients, distinguishing those that bolster your meal's healthiness from those that detract from it. The culmination of this assessment is a simple, easily interpretable letter grade ranging from A to E. An 'A' signifies a nutrient-packed, wholesome dish, while an 'E' indicates lesser nutritional value. With Stashcook's Recipe Nutritional Score, you're not just cooking; you're making informed, health-conscious culinary decisions. Make every meal count!

  1. Tap the rating A-E

  2. Scroll to the bottom

  3. Tap "View all nutritional info"

The nutritional breakdown shows all the macro and micro nutrients for the recipe. It also shows which ingredients contribute the most to the macro nutrients (Calories, Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat, Sugar, Sodium). You can use the breakdown to see what changes would effect the meal the most to match your meal planning goals.

Change Serving Size

Whether you're preparing a quiet dinner for two or catering to a bustling family gathering, Stashcook understands that serving sizes can be as fluid as the recipes themselves. The Change Serving Sizes feature seamlessly allows you to adjust recipes based on your serving needs. By simply increasing or decreasing the serving size, Stashcook recalculates and presents you with the adjusted ingredient quantities, ensuring accuracy and ease in your meal prep. With Stashcook, you're always equipped to cook the perfect amount, eliminating guesswork and food wastage.

  1. Tap the button to increase the serving size
