The Pantry Butler

Save recipes from your phone

The whole point of The Pantry Butler is that when you spot a recipe you love while scrolling, you can send it straight into your recipes — and we pull out the ingredients and steps for you. Here's how to set that up on your phone.

iPhone / iPad

Add "Save to The Pantry Butler" to your Share sheet

Apple doesn't let websites into the Share sheet directly, so we use a quick Shortcut — it takes about a minute to set up once, then it's there forever.

  1. Open the Shortcuts app (it comes with your iPhone) and tap + to make a new shortcut.
  2. Tap Add Action, search for "Open URLs", and add it.
  3. In that action's URL box, type exactly:
    https://thepantrybutler.com/?share=
  4. Tap right after share=, then tap the variable button on the keyboard bar and choose Shortcut Input. (Now the box reads …/?share= followed by a blue Shortcut Input chip.)
  5. Tap the (or the shortcut name at the top) → turn on Show in Share Sheet. Under Accepted Types, keep URLs and Text checked.
  6. Name it Save to The Pantry Butler and tap Done.

Now use it: In TikTok / Instagram / Safari, tap Share → scroll to Save to The Pantry Butler. It opens the app and starts gathering the recipe automatically. Sign in first so it saves to your recipes.
