The pantry can be accessed by tapping the Pantry section in the main menu.

Use the pantry to keep track of common ingredients you already have at home, such as: salt, pepper, flour, sugar, etc.

For each pantry item you can record the quantity, purchase date, expiration date, a note, and whether it is in stock or out of stock.

Ingredients placed in your pantry will automatically be unchecked when you add recipes or meal plans to your grocery list.

Adding Items to the Pantry

To add an item to the pantry, type the ingredient name into the Add Item field at the top of the pantry.

Shortcut You can also add items by scanning their barcodes — see Scanning Barcodes below.

Editing Pantry Items

Tap on a pantry item to open the Edit Pantry Item screen for that item. From here you'll be able to update the item's ingredient, aisle, location, quantity, purchase date, expiration date, and notes.

Pantry Locations Premium

You can organize your pantry into multiple locations, such as Pantry, Fridge, Freezer, or Spice Rack.

On iPhone, the name of the current location is displayed at the top of the pantry screen — tap it to switch to a different location. On iPad, your locations are displayed in the Locations column on the left; tap on a location to view the items stored there.

To create a new location, press the button at the top of the locations list and enter a name. The default location cannot be deleted, but it can be renamed.

To move items to a different location, tap the edit button in the toolbar, select the items, then press the button and choose Move to Location. You can also choose Copy to Location if you would like the items listed in more than one location.

Scanning Barcodes Premium

On iPhone and iPad, you can add pantry items by scanning their barcodes with your camera. Tap the barcode button in the pantry toolbar to open the Scan Barcode screen, then point the camera at a product's barcode.

When a barcode is recognized, Paprika looks up the product and starts a new pantry item with the product's name filled in for you — with the aisle detected automatically, the purchase date set to today, and the location set to the pantry location you are currently viewing. Review the details in the Edit Pantry Item screen and save.
