Stop Wasting Food: How CamCook Saves You Money

The Food Waste Problem

Did you know that the average household throws away $1,500 worth of food every year? Most of this waste comes from forgotten ingredients, expired produce, and not knowing what to cook with what you already have.

CamCook's intelligent pantry scanner changes this by helping you see exactly what you have and suggesting recipes before your ingredients go bad.

How CamCook Prevents Food Waste

Simply open CamCook and point your camera at your fridge, pantry, or countertop. Our AI instantly recognizes and catalogs your ingredients—no typing required. It takes just 30 seconds to scan your entire kitchen.

2. Smart Expiration Tracking

CamCook tracks when ingredients were added and estimates their shelf life. You'll get gentle reminders to use ingredients before they expire, with recipe suggestions that feature those items prominently.

3. Use-What-You-Have Recipes

Every recipe recommendation shows you a match percentage based on your current pantry. See exactly what you can make right now without a grocery store trip:
