We’ve all been at a point where we have to put something together for dinner but the only problem is that we have absolutely no idea what that something is going to be. If you’ve experienced this problem before, there is an app out there that can help you defeat that demon once and for all. It is the iPhone Dinner Spinner app and it comes from AllRecipes.com, arguably the internet’s leading source of information on culinary brilliance.
Cook a popular recipe tonight
There are tens of thousands of different recipe ideas available within the Dinner Spinner iPhone app, but of course having to choose from that many different recipe ideas can be just as bad for some people as having to start from scratch on their own. If you want something better, it might be a good idea to look instead at the popular recipes right now within the Dinner Spinner and then pick the recipe that appeals to you the most. Once you’ve done that, your iPhone will have just given you a dinner idea from nothing.
Find a recipe with what you have
Another great thing that the Dinner Spinner app for iPhone does is give you recipe ideas based on ingredients. The free version allows you to search for one ingredient and the upgraded professional version will allow you to search for up to eight different ingredients (or alternatively will allow you to exclude up to eight different ingredients from consideration). This allows you to look in on what you have if you don’t feel like grocery shopping tonight and then put that information to good use by getting your iPhone with this app on it to suggest a recipe idea for you to follow.
Find a recipe with caloric content exactness
Maybe you’re less interested in the popularity of a recipe and its ingredients list than you are with its nutritional information. If you want to know about caloric, fat and energy content, you can search for recipes based on that information as well. This will allow you to still cook something delicious but at the same time make sure that it is exactly what you need in terms of food intake.
Final Score
Overall, the Dinner Spinner iPhone app gets a final score of 9 out of 10 from us. It is a fantastic piece of software and the only thing preventing it from getting a perfect score is that the growth of recipe ideas could be a little bit faster in terms of actual numbers.
