PanicPan

PanicPan is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that turns “I have no idea what to cook” into a safe, step-by-step plan for true beginners. You enter what you have (or what you can buy for under a set budget), your equipment (microwave, one pan, oven), and your confidence level. The app generates a short recipe with micro-steps, timers, and “if this happens, do this” rescue prompts (e.g., too salty, burning, undercooked chicken). It also teaches only the minimum technique needed for that meal, in 20–40 second clips, not long lessons. The honest angle: it won’t make you a chef; it will help you reliably produce edible meals and reduce food waste. Monetization is a small subscription for unlimited plans, plus a free tier with limited weekly recipes.
