Recipes that fit how you eat.
Set your diet and allergies once, for everyone you feed. Saucepan shows what fits, flags the ingredient that does not, and suggests a swap.
Saucepan is a cooking app. A flag is a guide, not a guarantee, and it is not medical or religious advice. Always check labels, and ask your doctor, dietitian or religious authority when it matters.
Diets
Vegan
Set vegan once. Saucepan checks every ingredient, shows what fits, flags the one that does not, and suggests a swap.
Vegetarian
Set vegetarian once. Saucepan finds the meat, fish, gelatin and stock hiding in a recipe and suggests what to use instead.
Pescatarian
Set pescatarian once. Saucepan keeps fish, seafood, dairy and eggs, and flags meat, poultry and the stock that hides them.
Kosher
Saucepan flags the ingredients that are plainly not kosher. It cannot see certification, slaughter, or how a kitchen is run.
Halal
Saucepan flags pork, alcohol and gelatin. It cannot see how meat was slaughtered or whether a product is certified.
Gluten-free
Set gluten-free once. Saucepan flags wheat, barley, rye and the sauces and mixes that hide them, and suggests a swap.
Dairy-free
Set dairy-free once. Saucepan flags milk, butter, cheese and cream, finds the ones hiding in sauces and breads, and suggests a swap.
No pork
Set no pork once. Saucepan flags pork in every form, marks gelatin as “check”, and suggests what to cook instead.
No alcohol
Set no alcohol once. Saucepan flags wine, beer, spirits and mirin, and suggests a swap that keeps the flavour.
Allergies
Nut-free
Set peanuts and tree nuts as allergens once. Saucepan flags them in every recipe, finds the ones in sauces and spreads, and suggests a swap. Allergy flags are free.
Egg-free
Set eggs as an allergen once. Saucepan flags eggs, finds them in mayonnaise, fresh pasta and bakes, and suggests a swap. Allergy flags are free.
