Pantry to Pan

Get Pantry to Pan on your phone

Free, about a minute, and no app store needed. It installs straight from your phone's web browser and gets its own icon, full screen and timer alarms, just like any other app.

How do you install Pantry to Pan on an iPhone?

  1. 1

    Open this page in Safari

    It has to be Safari, the compass icon. Chrome and other browsers on iPhone can't add apps to the Home Screen.

  2. 2

    Sign in, or join

    Tap the button and sign in with your email. New here? First you choose your plan: Free, or Plus or Pro with 14 days free.

  3. 3

    Tap Share

    The square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of Safari (at the top on an iPad).

  4. 4

    Tap "Add to Home Screen", then "Add"

    Scroll down the list that opens. It's below the row of apps. On newer iPhones it may be under More.

  5. 5

    Open it and type your code

    Find the red P2P skillet on your Home Screen and open it. It asks you to sign in once: type the 6-digit code Safari showed you. (Apps on the Home Screen don't share Safari's sign-in, so this links them.)

    Add the Share button for Instagram and TikTok

    Do this once: open pantrytopan.com/shortcut on your iPhone and tap Add Shortcut. From then on, on any reel or video, tap Share → Send to Pantry to Pan.

    Keep it at the top: on a reel, tap Share, then More (or Share to…). A panel slides up with a row of apps and a list under it. Scroll to the bottom of the list, tap Edit Actions…, then the green + next to Send to Pantry to Pan. It moves to the top of that list, every time.

    Drawings to show where to tap; your phone's screens look a little different.

    No Share button yet? On the reel, tap Share → Copy link, then in Pantry to Pan tap + → 📋 Paste the link I copied.

  7. 7

    Save your first recipe

    In Pantry to Pan, tap + (bottom right), paste a link to any recipe (a website, reel, TikTok or YouTube video) and tap Import. About a minute later it's a clean recipe, ready to cook. Watch how

Good to know

Why isn't it in the app store? Pantry to Pan is a web app: it installs from the browser, updates itself, and takes up very little space. Nothing to download from a store.

Timer alarms: in the app, turn on Settings → 🔔 Timer alarms on the lock screen so timers ring even when your phone is locked. On iPhone this needs iOS 16.4 or newer and the app on your Home Screen.
