Sort your list by aisle
Items are grouped by aisle. Move an item to a different one and Cook Well remembers it the next time you add it.
Updated November 12, 2026
Every list is grouped by aisle, like Produce or Dairy & Eggs, with items A–Z inside each one. Anything without an aisle goes under No Category at the end. You can't drag items into your own order.
Move an item to a different aisle
- Swipe left on the item.
- Tap the tag.
- Pick an aisle from Select Category.
- Hover over the item, or tap it on a small screen.
- Choose the tag.
- Pick an aisle from Category.
Cook Well remembers your choice. The next time you add that item, it goes in the aisle you picked. To go back to the usual aisle, choose Reset (Reset to default on the web) in the same place.
Items with a warning sign
Something you typed yourself, rather than picked from search, has no aisle yet. It shows a small amber sign. Tap it to choose an aisle.
In a household, the aisles you pick are shared. Change one and it changes for both of you.
