Scan → confirm → cook

See what is in the fridge. Check what the scan found.

A fridge scanner uses a photo to suggest ingredients that may be present. In Tablumi, fridge recognition is an optional cloud AI tool: you choose the input, allow cloud processing and review the results before keeping them. It helps start a pantry check, but it cannot reliably see inside containers or confirm food freshness, exact quantities or everything hidden at the back.

Start with a useful view

Choose a photo where the ingredients and relevant packaging are visible. Unlike the meal-photo cutout workflow, a fridge scan needs the wider scene for context. Avoid including private information you do not want processed. Manual pantry entry is still available if you prefer not to send a photo to cloud AI.

Confirm before adding to your pantry

Read the proposed names and remove incorrect or duplicate items. Packaging can resemble a different product, and a visible container does not reveal how much is left. Check quantities and storage notes yourself. A recognition suggestion is not an instruction to merge separate ingredients or silently overwrite your existing stock.

Use the pantry to choose a meal

After reviewing your ingredients, move to local cooking ideas and choose a style or practical constraint. The local generator uses rules and templates rather than a cloud request. It can suggest a dish name or meal combination, but a suggestion is not proof that you have every ingredient or the right amount.

Useful moments to try it

  • Review visible groceries after unpacking a shopping bag.
  • Check what is in the fridge before deciding what else to buy.
  • Start a cooking session with ingredients you have confirmed yourself.

Questions you may have

Can the scanner tell whether food is safe to eat?

No. Image recognition does not establish freshness, safe storage or the absence of allergens. Check food condition and storage information independently.

Do I need Pro to type in my ingredients?

No. Manual ingredient management and local cooking inspiration are not the cloud-scanning workflow. You can use them without sending a photo to AI.
