How to save a TikTok recipe so you can actually cook it
A saved TikTok keeps the video, not the recipe. The amounts are said out loud, the caption is cut off, and three weeks later you are scrubbing through a minute of video in the supermarket.
Share the TikTok to BiteVault. It saves the recipe to your Vault with ingredients, steps and timings, read from the caption, and with Pro from the creator's voiceover and the text on screen too. Free for 50 saves, and your first 14 days include Pro.
Tap Share on the TikTok, then BiteVault. BiteVault sits in the share menu on iPhone and Android. On a computer, paste the link at bitevault.app.
It does the reading. It reads the caption and pulls out the recipe. With Pro it also downloads the video, transcribes what the creator says and reads the text on screen. Close the app if you like; it tells you when the recipe has landed.
Cook from it. Ingredients with amounts, numbered steps and timings, with allergen flags on every recipe. Pro adds cook mode, timers and a shopping list.
"Comment RECIPE and I'll send it". The app spots a withheld recipe and asks you to paste the creator's reply, then builds the recipe from that instead of guessing.
No recipe in the video. A food video that never spells the recipe out still saves, with a note saying so, so you keep the video.
Saved it already. Share the same video twice and it tells you it is already in your Vault.
Recipe websites too. Paste any public recipe page and it is saved the same way.
Do I need to copy the link?
No. Use TikTok's Share button and pick BiteVault. Copying the link and pasting it into the app works too.
Does it work on Android?
Yes. BiteVault is on Google Play and the App Store, and works in any browser at bitevault.app with the same account.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan holds 50 saves in your Vault with 30 new saves a month, and allergen and gluten flags are free on every plan. Your first 14 days include Pro, which listens to the video. Pro is from A$3.33 a month on the yearly plan.
