What can I make for dinner?• I’m hungry, and I didn’t plan ahead• I’m already home, not going out to the grocery store. I need to make due with my current ingredients• I see a boneless chicken breast…I’m in luck, it hasn’t spoiled yet• Next step – Ovenbot’s mobile app

Use Case #1

Try our 3&Go tool

It’s simple, pick up to 3 ingredients and find the recipes that match

Wait, haven’t I seen this before? I enter a couple ingredients and viola…no recipes

That’s not the Ovenbot way. At Ovenbot, there are no dead ends…ever

Select your 1st ingredient – let’s start with Chicken Breast

When selecting your 2nd ingredient, Ovenbot will ONLY display ingredients that will produce a recipe. That’s why we say “No Dead Ends!”

Ingredient 3 seems like a good excuse to open up that bottle of white wine

Chicken Piccata, why didn’t I think of that before?

Hold on, it says I only have 8 of the 9 pantry items needed

Ovenbot, how are you going to solve this problem?

So this is the item I’m missing - what is a caper?

Is it:A. That small bottle in the back of

my refrigerator?B. An illegal plot or enterprise,

especially one involving theft?

Unfortunately, it’s not A

Am I going to get in trouble here?

Do I dare make Chicken Piccata without capers?

What does this modify button mean? According to Ovenbot, capers are considered “optional”

If I keep drinking this wine, I will have to substitute Dry sherry

Good to know I have options

But how do I KNOW that this will still turn out delicious?

In the reviews, Steve from New Jersey has a version of Chicken Piccata without Capers, and his family loves it. Plus I have all the ingredients!

I can trust Steve right? He looks like a reliable source

Check out the ratings…90% positive. Let’s make dinner. I can navigate directly to this recipe from the review

Use Case #2

Next time you should plan ahead

Let’s plan our meals for the week and update our shopping list

Enter your search term• Chicken

Further target your recipes using 6 possible filter categories• Meal type = Dinner• Ingredient = White wine

What’s so special about this? Doesn’t every recipe app & website have this functionality?

At Ovenbot, we do things differently…and we think better

Like 3&Go, the filters only show relevant choices based on your search and previously selected filters

Before you apply a filter, we will let you know how many recipes your selection will return so you can either choose to filter OR jump directly to the recipes. No Dead Ends!
