Recipes with ingredients you have — scan your fridge

The problem with leftover ingredients

One in three households throws away food every week because they do not know what to do with the ingredients they have. You buy groceries with good intentions, use half of them for one recipe, and the rest slowly expires in the back of the fridge.

Traditional recipe sites ask you to search by ingredient, but they do not know your allergies, your family size, or the equipment in your kitchen. The result is a list of generic suggestions that rarely match your real situation.

How UScan finds recipes with the ingredients you have

UScan is UCON Chef’s fridge scanner. Open your fridge, point your phone, and the app identifies what is inside. Chef Lucien then builds a recipe around those ingredients — personalized to your family’s allergies, diets, and tastes.

• Scan your fridge in seconds — no typing required.
• Lucien prioritizes ingredients that are close to expiring.
• Every recipe respects your family’s dietary needs automatically.
• Recipes are scaled to your household size.

Save money and reduce food waste

When you cook with the ingredients you already have, you spend less at the store and throw less in the bin. UCON Chef also includes a Price Conscious mode that tracks live ingredient prices and suggests affordable swaps — so you eat well without overspending.

The Sustainable Focused mode goes further, teaching you how to use peels, stems, and leftovers creatively. Lucien helps you build meals from what others would discard — including imperfect vegetables most people overlook.

Your fridge is your pantry

With UCON Chef, your fridge is never empty — it is full of possibilities. Every ingredient is a starting point for a meal that is made for your family.
