Easily importing recipes from the web is one of our favorite things about Plan to Eat. We want to make meal planning easier, and being able to build a meal plan and shop from any recipe on the web is a huge win. Because this is such a big deal to us, we have a lot of features that help you add recipes to your account. For example, you can import recipes with our Recipe Clipper Bookmark in a desktop browser, from a URL, or from other recipe software.
The features above are fantastic tools, but we think we have created something even better for you! We are excited to officially announce our new Recipe Clipper Browser Extension for iOS and Android browsers. This new feature allows you to save any recipe to your Recipe Book using the share button found in the mobile versions of Safari, Chrome or Firefox. This enhancement makes adding recipes so easy. We hope you love it as much as we do!
UPDATE: The browser extension is currently not working in the Chrome browser on iOS only. We should have a fix out soon!
How to use our new browser extension on iOS
- Using your favorite browser, find a recipe you want to add to your Recipe Book.
- Tap on the Share button.
- Choose the Plan to Eat “Save Recipe” share extension (if you don’t see our icon, scroll over and tap the More option to enable our extension).
- Plan to Eat will open and your recipe will begin importing.
- Once import is complete, check that the data is correct, make any changes necessary, and press Save. The recipe will be added to your Recipe Book.
How to use our new browser extension on Android
