❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What does the Recipe Converter & Meal Planner do?
The tool allows you to paste any recipe or add your own ingredients, then instantly convert serving sizes, swap dietary preferences (such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb), and generate a shopping list with estimated costs. It can also create simple weekly meal plans.
2. Does the tool store my recipes or personal data?
No. All recipe data is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is saved, stored, or sent to a server. You are fully in control of your information.
3. How accurate are the ingredient conversions?
The converter does its best to scale ingredient quantities mathematically and apply common dietary substitutions. Because recipes vary widely, we recommend giving everything a quick review before cooking.
4. Why do some diet substitutions not apply?
The tool uses a substitution database that recognizes common ingredient names. If a recipe uses unusual wording, brand names, or very specific ingredients, it may not match automatically. You can always manually adjust ingredients if needed.
5. Can I use the tool for professional or commercial cooking?
This tool is intended for personal, home, and casual recipe use. While you’re welcome to try it for professional purposes, please double-check all conversions for accuracy as results may vary.
6. Why does my meal plan sometimes repeat meals?
The meal planner generates quick and simple plans using your converted recipe data. If you want a more varied week, feel free to modify or mix in additional recipes manually.
7. Will more features be added?
Yes! New features are planned, including:
Save/print options
Better dietary swap detection
Improved scraping from recipe URLs
More tools for kitchen planning
We welcome suggestions from users — if there’s something you want, let us know!
8. Is the tool free to use?
Yes! The recipe converter and meal planner are completely free. If you enjoy the tool, sharing it with others helps us grow.
9. What if I have a food allergy?
Please always double-check ingredients yourself. The tool cannot guarantee safety for users with allergies. See the Allergy Warning section on the tool page for important details.
