How to save recipes from Instagram (the easy way)

Instagram is full of incredible recipes — and almost none of them are easy to cook from. The ingredients are buried in a caption, the steps fly by in a Reel, and three weeks later you can't find that saved post anywhere. There's a better way.

The problem with saving on Instagram

Instagram's built-in Save button is great for bookmarking, but it wasn't built for cooking. You still have to:

• Scrub back through the video to catch each step
• Copy ingredients out of a long caption
• Convert quantities while your hands are covered in flour

By the time dinner's on, you've watched the same 30-second Reel six times.

Save any Instagram recipe in three taps

With Stowfy, saving a recipe from Instagram takes seconds:

1. On the Reel or post, tap the Share icon (the little paper plane).
2. Choose Stowfy from the share sheet.
3. That's it — Stowfy reads the video and caption and rebuilds a clean recipe with a proper ingredient list and numbered steps.

No screenshots, no copy-paste, no losing it in your saved folder.

What you get after importing

Once a recipe is in Stowfy, it becomes genuinely useful:

• A clean recipe card with ingredients and steps you can actually read
• Nutrition — calories, protein, carbs and fat, estimated automatically
• A grocery list sorted by aisle so shopping is fast
• Cook mode that keeps your screen awake while you follow along

Tips for the best imports

• Import from posts where the creator lists ingredients in the caption — you'll get the most accurate result.
• You can always edit any imported recipe to fix a quantity or add a note.
• Found it on a website instead? Stowfy imports from any recipe site, a photo, or pasted text too.
