How It Started
PairingPlates started as a personal project. Like many home cooks, we found ourselves constantly looking up the same information: How many tablespoons in a cup? What temperature should I roast chicken? What goes well with brie?
We realized that all this information was scattered across dozens of websites, often buried under ads and pop-ups. We wanted to create a single destination where cooks could find reliable, well-designed tools that just work.
Today, PairingPlates offers over 37 free cooking tools used by thousands of home cooks and professionals worldwide. We are constantly adding new features and tools based on user feedback.
