The pantry in Paprika for Windows.

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, 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 text field and type in the ingredient name, then hit Enter.


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, and expiration date, etc.


Pantry Locations Premium

You can organize your pantry into multiple locations, such as Pantry, Fridge, Freezer, or Spice Rack. Your locations are displayed in the Locations pane on the left side of the pantry screen — click on a location to view the items stored there. Use the sort menu in the pane's toolbar to order your locations by Name, or choose Custom to arrange them yourself by dragging.

To create a new location, press the button in the locations pane and enter a name. Right-click a location to rename or delete it. The default location cannot be deleted, but it can be renamed.

You can change which location an item is stored in by editing the item and choosing a different Location. To move several items at once, select them, right-click, and choose the new location from the Location submenu. To copy the selected items into another location instead, choose the location from the Copy To submenu.

Note

Pantry locations are synced across your devices.


Sorting the Pantry

By default, your pantry will be sorted into aisles, similar to the grocery list.

If you prefer, you can change the pantry sort order by clicking the button in the toolbar. You can choose between sorting by: Aisle, Date Added, Expiration Date, or In Stock.

Note

You can also filter the pantry to show only items that are In Stock, Out of Stock, or Expired using the filter control in the toolbar.

You can access these actions by pressing the button in the toolbar.
