Six leftovers, six dinners
What to do with the thing in the container.
Leftover roast chicken
Shred it into fried rice, a quick ramen, or a chicken and leek pasta. Simmer the carcass for 40 minutes and you have stock for next week.
Leftover rice
Chill it fast, then fry it hard the next day with egg and whatever vegetable is going soft. Cold rice fries better than fresh, so this is the one leftover that improves.
Leftover potatoes
Crush and crisp them in a hot pan for a hash, fold them into a Spanish tortilla, or blend with stock for a five minute soup.
Leftover vegetables
Roast everything on one tray, then choose your ending: blitz to soup, pile into a frittata, or toss through pasta with garlic and chilli.
Leftover bread
Stale bread is an ingredient, not waste. Tear it for panzanella, blitz for breadcrumbs, or soak it for a savoury bread pudding.
Half a tin of tomatoes
A quick shakshuka takes fifteen minutes and uses up eggs, peppers and onion at the same time.
Waste less, without trying
Roughly a third of all food produced is never eaten.
Most of it is lost at home, one forgotten bag of spinach at a time. Knowing what you own, and cooking it in the right order, fixes almost all of it.
Expiry alerts
Trova nudges you before the yoghurt, the spinach or the chicken turns, with recipes that use them up first.
Cook in the right order
Your pantry is ranked by what needs eating soonest, so the week naturally clears the fridge instead of filling the bin.
Spend less each week
The shopping list subtracts what you already own, so you stop rebuying the jar of paprika hiding at the back.
Keep going
Cook by what is left in the fridge.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What can I make with leftovers?
Almost anything, once you know what you have. Trova reads the ingredients in your pantry, including yesterday's leftovers, and shows the recipes you can cook right now, prioritising the food closest to going off.
How do I stop wasting food at home?
Track what you own and cook it in the right order. Trova stores your pantry, warns you before items expire, and suggests recipes that use those items first.
How long do leftovers last in the fridge?
As a general guide, cooked leftovers keep two to three days refrigerated, cooled quickly and stored covered. Reheat until piping hot throughout. When in doubt, throw it out.
