Yes, it would be interesting if recipes on the menu reduced your pantry/freezer inventory.

I’m new to shopncook software (I was using MacGourmet) but one feature that I’ve been looking for is the ability to USE UP stuff in my pantry or freezer. If we inventoried what was in the pantry and freezer perhaps some rudimentary background scan of our ingredients vs “you’re most of the way there to this recipe” prompts would be helpful?

[…] you have prepared a sublist with your pantry ingredients as recommended in an earlier post, have a glance at it and make sure you have enough of them for […]

Thanks for the notes on the hidden pantry manager. They will be most useful as I am just starting to seriously use the programme.

Patricia,

At the time being, you can only use the barcode scanning to input data into a supermarket. Scanning items in and out of the pantry is in the plan, but not yet available.

I posted this question somewhere else, but now can’t find it.

It appears there is a way to barcode scan items in (and out?) of the pantry, according to the users manual. But the instructions aren’t helping.

Am I misunderstanding.

Also I agree with Peter about the suggestions for “best by” dates.

Thanks.

K Quinn,

You cannot directly print a sublist, but you can create a new shopping list, add to it the ingredients of the sublist and then print the shopping list.

Also, the most convenient way to create a sublist is by making a shopping list with all the ingredients you want to include and then save it as sublist (File menu).

Can I print either of these lists? That would be great to just post them on the inside of the door. Also the sublist is a new feature for me. Can I create that easily or do I need to manually enter items here. I need to make a freezer one.

The Hidden Pantry is brilliant!!

What I would like to see included is a use by and best before date reminder alert.

For eg. the product turns red and alerts the user that the product may not be suitable for consumption.

This will allow the date to be inserted in a field when entering a product.

Regards

Peter
