Smart Instant Pot Recipe Dashboard

Explore

Ever wonder what you can make in your Instant Pot with the ingredients you already have in your kitchen?

ā€‹

Ever find yourself hungry at 7pm, racking your brain for a quick recipe when all you want to do is order takeout?

ā€‹

Ever end up wandering the aisles of your local supermarket, trying to make your shopping trip as efficient as possible but struggling to piece together a cart that makes any real sense?

ā€‹

I had all of these problems, so I created an Airtable base to solve them.

ā€‹

This base will help you:

ā€‹

  • Figure out what you can make with what you have
  • Figure out what specific ingredients to buy to make the maximum number of recipes you like to make
  • Figure out what exact items you need to buy to make [x] dish

ā€‹

All you need to do to get started is take stock of:

ā€‹

  • The stuff in your kitchen
  • The recipes you like making

Personalizing the Smart Recipe Dashboard

ā€‹

To use this base, go through your fridge and pantry and record everything you have. Pick the "status" that corresponds best to your usage of that item -- "Full," "Opened," "Almost Gone," or "Empty." Something that's "Almost Gone" will only make it through one more recipe. Something that's "Opened" still has some juice left (think a 1/2 full bottle of olive oil).

ā€‹

Use the "Gallery (Can Make)" in the Recipes table to see the dishes that you can make currently (all of the ingredients it is linked to are not "Empty").

ā€‹

Every time you finish making a recipe, go through the linked ingredients and set them to "Empty" or "Opened" or "Almost Gone."

ā€‹

When it's time to go shopping, use the Shopping List view in the Food table, which is sorted by "# of Ingredients Missing" -- this will help you prioritize buying those ingredients which factor into the most meals.
