Save a recipe from TikTok

Saw it on TikTok? Paste the link and it becomes a written recipe with ingredients, steps and tags, saved in your kitchen for good.

Free while we are in beta. No credit card.

How to turn a TikTok into a recipe

STEP 1

Copy the TikTok's link

On the video in TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link.

STEP 2

Open Add, then From a link

In Snap and Simmer, tap Add, then From a link. TikToks go in the same box as recipe web pages.

STEP 3

Paste it and tap Import recipe

Paste the link and tap Import recipe.

We read the caption first. Many creators write the recipe there or link to their blog, and we follow that link. If the recipe lives only in the video, we watch it: we listen to what is said and read the text on screen. Watching takes about a minute.

STEP 4

Check it and cook

You get a proper recipe: title, ingredients, steps and tags, with the video still linked. If the video never says how much of something to use, that amount is left blank for you to fill in.

Good to know

  • Linked videos can be up to three minutes long.
  • Every kitchen gets 5 video watches a month while we are in beta. Recipes found in the caption or on the creator's blog do not need a watch.
  • We never guess. An amount that is not said or shown stays blank.
  • The original TikTok stays linked on the recipe.

Questions

Do I need a TikTok account?

No. You only need the link to the video.

What if the recipe is only spoken in the video?

We watch the video, listen to what is said, read any text on screen and write the recipe down from that.

How long can the TikTok be?

Up to three minutes for a linked video.

Does it work with YouTube?

Not at the moment. If the recipe is also on a web page, paste that page's link instead.

Is it free?

Yes, while we are in beta. Every kitchen gets 5 video watches a month, and saving from captions, links, photos and pasted text is free.

Good food is better shared.
