Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to clean or organize my fridge before taking a photo?
Not at all! Just open the door and take a casual picture. Cheff is designed to spot ingredients even if condiments are crowded together, jars are behind one another, or produce is in a drawer.
What if I only have a few ingredients?
That’s the whole point of Snap & Cook! Even if you only have eggs, butter, and a heel of cheese, Cheff creates a real dish like a French-style soft scramble or savoury frittata rather than demanding ingredients you don’t have.
Does Cheff assume I have basic pantry staples like oil and salt?
Yes, by default Cheff assumes you have everyday basics like cooking oil, salt, and black pepper. If your kitchen is totally bare, you can uncheck the "Assume basic pantry staples" switch or add a note like "no cooking oil".
Can I mention dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes! Snap & Cook automatically respects your saved dietary settings (like vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or nut allergies). You can also type specific requests like "kid-friendly" or "extra spicy" in the optional notes box.
Is Snap & Cook free to try?
Yes, Snap & Cook is completely free to try. You can snap photos right now or test our instant 1-tap presets to see how it works with zero wait.
Can I save the recipe to my recipe box and cook hands-free?
Absolutely. Every recipe you generate can be saved with one tap, and you can jump straight into Cheff’s Hands-Free Cook Mode where your phone screen stays awake with interactive step timers.
