Where are my saved recipes? Find them, then keep them in one place

Short answer

They're in the app you saved them from: Saved on Instagram, Favorites on TikTok, your boards on Pinterest, Recipe Box in NYT Cooking, MyRecipes.com for Allrecipes, and Bookmarks in Safari or Chrome. Check them in that order, then share the keepers to one place.

Where each app keeps your saved recipes

  1. Instagram

    Tap Profile, then Menu, then Saved.

    Look in All posts first. A recipe you filed in a collection still shows there too.

  2. TikTok

    Tap Profile, then Favorites.

    Every video you tapped the bookmark on is under Favorites, with any collections you made.

  3. Pinterest

    Tap Profile, then Saved, then Board.

    Your profile shows your saved Pins and boards. Open the board you filed the recipe in.

  4. NYT Cooking

    Tap Recipe Box.

    In the app, Recipe Box is in the bottom bar. On the web it's Your Recipe Box in the top right. Saved Recipes, your folders and the Grocery List are all inside, with a search box.

  5. Allrecipes

    Tap MyRecipes.com, then Log in.

    Allrecipes saves now live on MyRecipes, the shared recipe box for Allrecipes, Simply Recipes, EatingWell, Food & Wine and Southern Living. Sign in with your Allrecipes account and they're there.

  6. Safari or Chrome bookmarks

    Tap Safari: Show Bookmarks, then Chrome: More, Bookmarks.

    In Safari on iPhone, open a start page and tap Show Bookmarks; recent bookmarks run across the top, newest on the left. In Chrome, tap the three dots, then Bookmarks.

Why your recipes are hard to find

Recipe Box only takes NYT recipes
NYT Cooking says recipes hosted outside NYT Cooking can't be saved to your Recipe Box. Full access needs a Cooking or All Access subscription.Source: NYT Help Center
Allrecipes moved your saves
Allrecipes moved saved recipes and collections to MyRecipes, which also saves recipes from its sister sites. Sign in at MyRecipes.com with your Allrecipes account to see them.Source: Allrecipes/MyRecipes FAQ
No search on Instagram or TikTok
Instagram Saved and TikTok Favorites have no search box. You scroll thumbnails until you spot the one you want.
Six places, zero overlap
Each list only holds what you saved in that app, so the lemon pasta is in one of six places and nothing looks across them.

Keep every recipe in one list you can search

Share a recipe from any of those apps or sites to SavedIt. It keeps the link and writes the ingredients and numbered steps on the save when the post or page has them.

  1. Share from wherever you found it

    Tap Share, then SavedIt.

    A Reel, a TikTok, a recipe site in Safari: same two taps. For a Pin, open the recipe site it points to and share that page.

    The iPhone share sheet with SavedIt in the row of apps next to Messages and Mail
    Share the recipe from the app or browser you found it in.

  2. Get the recipe written out

    SavedIt reads the caption or the recipe page and pulls out the ingredients in two columns and the numbered steps, plus serves and time when the post says them. A paywalled page, like an NYT recipe without a subscription, may only give it the title.

    A SavedIt recipe page for creamy mushroom penne with eight ingredients, serves 2, 20 minutes and four numbered steps
    A saved video becomes a recipe you can cook from.

  3. Find it by the dish

    Type "penne" or "mushroom" and it comes up, whether it came from TikTok or a food blog. When the exact words don't match, one tap searches by meaning and finds "that creamy pasta".

  4. Sort them your way

    Make collections like Weeknight, Baking or Make again. One recipe can sit in several.
