Troubleshooting Fridge Finder

Steps to try if Fridge Finder isn't working or isn't showing results.

Likely causes

  • Fridge Finder is a Premium feature, so it won't be available on the Free plan.
  • Your subscription may not be currently active.
  • The ingredients you typed may not match any recipes closely enough.

Steps to try, in order

  1. Check your subscription status in Settings to confirm you have an active Premium plan.
  2. If you're on the Free plan, upgrade to Premium through Settings and complete payment via Stripe checkout to unlock Fridge Finder.
  3. If you recently upgraded, make sure your payment was confirmed, since Fridge Finder activates once payment goes through.
  4. Go to /app/fridge and check that you've typed your ingredients clearly, one at a time.
  5. Try broadening your ingredient list, or removing less common ingredients, if you're getting no matches.
  6. Try a smaller, simpler list of ingredients to see whether results appear at all.
  7. If Fridge Finder still isn't returning results or won't load, contact support at /contact with details of what you typed and what happened.

What Fridge Finder does

Fridge Finder lets you type the ingredients you have on hand and get matching recipes back, so you can cook with what's already in your kitchen.

Tips

  • List your main ingredients first, since these are most likely to match recipes well.
  • Remember that Fridge Finder needs an active Premium subscription every time you use it.
