How to save a recipe from Pinterest
A pin is a picture with a link. The recipe itself lives on the website the pin points to, and that is the link to save. It takes one extra tap, and the result is better.
No account needed to see the recipe. Make a free one to keep it.
Step by step
- 1Open the pinIn the Pinterest app or on pinterest.com.
- 2Tap the photo or VisitThis opens the recipe website the pin came from.
- 3Copy that page's addressUse Share then Copy link in your browser, or copy it from the address bar.
- 4Paste it into ForkatoUse the box on this page, or Save a recipe once you are signed in.
What Forkato reads
- The recipe website's own recipe card: ingredients, amounts, steps, times and servings
- Many recipe websites save free with no monthly limit
What you get
- Ingredients with amounts, and steps in order
- Which ingredients you already have, once you add your pantry
- The missing ones on your shopping list in one tap
- Cook mode with big steps and timers, on your phone or Echo Show
If it does not work
- Why not paste the pin link itself?
- Pinterest blocks automated readers, so a pin link almost never works. The website link always says more anyway.
- The pin has no website, just a photo
- Save the image to your phone and save it in Forkato as a photo.
- The website shows a sign-in wall or blocks readers
- Copy the recipe text and paste it as text, or screenshot it and save it as a photo.
Saves from many recipe websites are free and unlimited, which is one more reason to save the website rather than the pin.
