leftover board / fridge 1 · free workflow
Pair What Is Left Before It Becomes Waste — Free
Score what is in the fridge on portion, days left, and how well it pairs, and the board ranks them so the thing to cook tonight is decided by the food rather than by whatever is nearest.
What this replaces
A leftover recipe search ignores how long each item actually has. This scores portion, remaining days, and pairing fit with the days inverted, so the food about to turn is ranked first and the combination is part of the ranking.

The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One item per line with a portion size, days remaining, and a pairing score out of ten.
Let the board rank them
Each gets a weighted score with the three numbers behind it.
Cook the top two together
The first card is running out; the second is what it pairs best with.
Check the food before you rely on the date
Smell and appearance decide; the board only ranks what you told it.
Try it on the leftover board / fridge 1

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally.
What breaks, and what to do
Days estimated rather than counted
The ranking is only as good as the number you typed.
Items that pair with nothing
Score them low honestly and they will sort to one-off use.
Portions in mixed units
Keep every portion in grams or the weights are meaningless.
