Use SmartThings Cooking

Navigate to and open the SmartThings app on your phone. Tap Menu (the three horizontal lines), and then tap SmartApps.

Tap SmartThings Cooking. You will be prompted to download the service; tap Download to continue.

Note: After downloading SmartThings Cooking, you can also access it by tapping your refrigerator’s card, and then tapping SmartThings Cooking under Related services.

After a first-time series of questions to set up your default preferences (which you can change later), you’ll see all sorts of recipes and meals ranging from healthy options to tasty snacks. The recipes will be listed under categories like Favorites, Just for you, Simple, and Today’s dinner.

You can select individual ingredients to cook with, like beef, cheese, or eggs, by tapping the options under "Cook with these." You’ll then see a list of recipes containing the ingredients you chose. To view the interior of your SmartThings-connected fridge, tap View Inside.

Tap a recipe that looks interesting to see more details. You can read a description of the recipe at the top or swipe up to view the recipe’s instructions.

Under Ingredients, tap Select all to include all of the suggestions, or tap specific ones if you want to cook with just a few ingredients. Tap Send to Shopping list to send all of your chosen ingredients to your Shopping List, so you can stock up before starting the recipe. If you’re cooking for several people, tap 1 serving and choose the number of servings you’ll need to make. 

Tap Step-by-step cooking to view the individual cooking steps. To move to the next step, tap the arrow in the top right corner. 

You can also send the recipe to Meal Planner by tapping More options (the three vertical dots), and then tapping Add to Meal planner. Or, tap Set timer to start a cooking timer.

If you’d like to add a recipe to your favorites, tap the Favorite icon at the top (it looks like a flag with a star).
