Bringing The Heat

There are apps to help you convert measurements from tablespoons to cups, apps that help you balance out your noodle-to-sauce ratio, recipe apps that can offer suggestions of what you should cook tonight based on what’s hiding in your fridge. And of course, if you like to cook but hate to shop, there are apps that will have uncooked ingredients delivered to you. All you have to do is bring the heat!

When you need to be scientific and have exact measurements for your recipe, use Kitchen Dial. The app does the conversions for you with each type of food in mind. It also ensures that you are cooking food at the correct temperature by converting Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Never have excess pasta again with Pasta Measure. Dial in the type of pasta you are making with the number of people you are cooking for and it tells you how much to make.

Handpick helps reduce wasted food. It allows you to select the food you have on hand and comes up with recipes to make with what you have.

If you love to cook but hate to shop, Hellofresh and Blueapron are subscription services that offer varying weekly recipes and deliver pre-portioned ingredients to your door. Both apps have step-by-step instructions and video instructions to help you.

Lastly, if you are completely uninspired, Allrecipe’s Dinner Spinner helps you to choose a random recipe to make. Simply choose which meal you would like to make, shake your phone, and presto! A random recipe appears!
