Pantry

Warning

This guide is for Paprika 4, which is currently in beta. Switch to the Paprika 3 guide.

The pantry on the Mac: locations in the middle column, items with quantities and expiry dates on the right, one out of stock, and the add item field, sort, actions and search above them. — The pantry in Paprika for Mac.

The pantry can be accessed by clicking 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, click the Add Item bar above the list and type in the ingredient name, then hit Enter.

Shortcut You can paste multiple lines of text into the add field to create several pantry items at once.

Editing Pantry Items

Double-click on a pantry item to open the edit 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.

Note

The In Stock checkbox follows the quantity stepper: stepping the quantity down to zero marks the item out of stock, and stepping it up from zero marks it in stock again.
