What can I cook with one ingredient?
Type the one thing you have. Pann builds one real meal around it, with amounts and steps. No account, no list of twenty options.
What it makes from what people actually have
- chicken thighs: Sticky honey garlic chicken with rice and broccoli, 30 minutes.
- half a cabbage: Crispy cabbage and bacon fried rice, one pan, 20 minutes.
- a tin of chickpeas: Crunchy chickpea and halloumi salad with lemon, 15 minutes.
- three eggs: Cheese and spring onion omelette with buttered toast, 10 minutes.
It works for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, for one to four people. Every meal is a well-known dish a beginner would cook on a Tuesday, with metric amounts first and sensory cues in the steps: golden, sizzling, just wilted.
How this differs from a recipe search
A recipe search gives you a list and leaves the decision to you. This gives you one meal and a method. If you want to see the alternatives, the guide to the best what-to-cook apps covers the ones that list, and the dinner quiz decides for you without typing anything.
Questions
What can I cook with one ingredient?
More than you think, because the ingredient you name is the main part and the rest is a normal pantry: oil, salt, an onion, garlic, a lemon, rice or pasta. Name the one thing you have and Pann builds one real meal around it with amounts and steps.
Is this free?
Yes. Three meals a day per visitor are free in the browser, no account needed. The Pann app has no limit, plans the week, writes the shopping list and cooks each meal with you.
Does it count calories?
No. Pann is a cooking assistant, not a tracker. In the app you can say whether you want to lose, gain or maintain and it quietly sizes portions to that; you never see a number.
What is different in the app?
Cook Mode reads every step out loud so your hands stay on the pan, the meal is sized to your goal, the week is planned from one sentence and the shopping list comes out of the plan. And it remembers what you do not like.
