Loved it at the restaurant?
Cook it tonight.
Point your camera at any dish. Plate to Pan reverse-engineers the full recipe — ingredients, step-by-step instructions, nutrition info, and dietary adaptations — in seconds.
From table to kitchen in three steps
No subscriptions to view. No credit card for the first 10 scans. Just point, shoot, and cook.
Photograph the dish
Snap up to 3 photos from different angles — top, side, close-up. The more detail, the better the recipe.
AI decodes the recipe
Our AI analyzes ingredients, cooking techniques, textures, and origins to reverse-engineer the full recipe in seconds.
Cook it tonight
Follow step-by-step in Cook Mode with built-in timers, Apple Watch support, and voice readout. Save to your cookbook forever.
Pro tip: After photographing, add a description like "it had a smoky chipotle kick" or "the sauce was silky and rich" — Claude uses these clues for a more accurate recipe.
