Let’s plan your first few dinners

Start with the meat you have, choose a few dinners and check the cupboard before you shop. Stirwise is free on the web. Create your account, then verify your email to get started.

Getting started

  1. Add your freezer packs

    Check the labels on your packs and add the cut, weight of each pack and how many you have. Two 500 g packs means 1,000 g altogether. Add the number of pieces for steaks, chops, shanks and drumsticks too. Choose Save changes to keep your changes.

  2. Tell us who’s coming to dinner

    Choose how many people you’re feeding, how many dinners you’d like and how much time you have. You can list ingredients to avoid, separated by commas. This searches ingredient names, so always check the full recipe and product labels for allergies.

  3. Plan your dinners

    Choose Plan my dinners, then open Ingredients & method on each dinner card. Want something different? Use Swap dinner to see what else fits. If we can’t fill the plan, check your freezer amounts or allow more cooking time. We won’t add extra meat to your shopping list.

  4. Check your pantry and save your list

    For these dinners shows the full amount needed across your recipes. Choose Have enough if it’s already in your cupboard, Need to buy if you’re out, Running low if you have some, or Check pantry if you’re unsure. Change Buy to the amount you’re missing, then choose Save shopping list before copying or printing.

  5. Keep track as you cook

    After you’ve used the meat for a dinner, choose Mark dinner as cooked. We’ll update your freezer amounts; Undo cooked dinner puts them back if you made a mistake. Tell us how the plan went at the bottom of the page. You can find older plans in Saved plans.

Common questions

Can I add Stirwise to my home screen?

On a supported browser, open its menu and choose Install app or Add to Home Screen. On iPhone or iPad, look in the Share menu. The installed app uses the same account and still needs a connection to open and save plans. Copy or print your shopping list before going somewhere without coverage.

Why is a dinner missing?

We may not have enough recipe matches for the meat you have and the time you’ve allowed. Check your pack weights and piece counts, add any other meat you have, or allow more cooking time. Then choose Plan my dinners again.

Why can’t I swap a dinner?

The swap menu only shows dinners that fit the meat and preferences saved with this plan. Save shopping list changes first. Once you’ve marked a dinner as cooked, you’ll need a new plan to choose different dinners. If you marked it by mistake, undo it first.

Why is a price or basket estimate missing?

We can’t always show supermarket products or prices, but you can still shop from the ingredient list. Check prices and how many packs you need at the shops. If we suggest a product you chose before, choose Use in this plan to confirm it again.

What if saving fails?

Keep the page open so you don’t lose your changes. Check any highlighted fields and your internet connection, then try saving again. If you changed the same plan in another tab, copy any notes you want to keep before reloading to see the latest version.

What if copying fails?

Save your shopping list, then try Print instead. Some browsers don’t allow copying. If you change your list later, copy or print it again to take the latest version with you.

How do recipe quantities work?

Ingredient amounts adjust to how many people you’re feeding. Please read the method and safety guidance before you cook.
