# Save recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and any website

Tap Share in any app and choose Saucepan. It reads the caption, and for videos the on-screen text and narration, and saves a recipe with ingredients and steps. It works with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Safari and most recipe websites.

Recipes get saved from the places people find them: a Reel, a TikTok, a YouTube video, a Pinterest pin, a food blog.

## How it works

1. Open the post or page with the recipe.
2. Tap **Share**, then **Saucepan**. If Saucepan is not in the row, scroll to the end, tap **More**, and turn it on.
3. Saucepan reads the caption and, for video, the on-screen text and narration, then saves the recipe.
4. Look it over before you cook. Imports are a draft you can edit.

## Other ways in

Copy a link and paste it. Save from a screenshot. Scan a cookbook page or a handwritten card with the camera.

Recipes you save from other people are for your own cooking. Do not publish them as your own.

## Questions

### Do I need to leave the app I am in?
No. Share opens from the app you are in, and the recipe is saved without switching.

### Can I paste a link instead?
Yes. Copy a link and paste it into Saucepan.

### Do I need an account?
No. Recipes stay on your device unless you sign in to sync.
