Adding Quick Items

In the "Add Item" panel, you can quickly add items from your Quick Items collection:

  • Search: Type to filter items by name
  • Filter by category: Use the dropdown to show only Produce, Dairy, Meat, etc.
  • Grouped display: Items are organized by category for easy browsing
  • Select All: Quickly select all visible items (respects your current filter)

Quantity & Units

When you select a quick item, RecipeHaul automatically pre-fills the unit based on the item's default:

  • Each item remembers its preferred unit (set on the Quick Items page)
  • Smart defaults are applied if no preference is set (e.g., eggs → dozen, milk → gallon)
  • Adjust the quantity and unit for each item before adding to your list

Smart Combining

RecipeHaul automatically combines similar ingredients. If two recipes both need onions, they'll be combined into a single line item.
