Your Saved Collection Is a Mess

You have 500+ saved posts. Half are recipes. Good luck finding the one you want.

Saved = Forgotten

Instagram's saved folder is a graveyard. Recipes mixed with memes, outfits, and vacation inspo. You'll never scroll through it all.

Carousel Recipe Chaos

Ingredients on slide 2, steps on slides 3 through 7, tips in the caption. Good luck remembering all that while your pan heats up.

Reels Are Hard to Follow

Pause, rewind, pause again. Trying to cook while following a quick Reel is a recipe for burned food.

Recipes Buried in Captions

The full recipe is there... somewhere in a lengthy caption with life stories and affiliate links. Just find the ingredients. Good luck.

No Search in Saved

"I saved a chicken recipe last month." Cool. Now scroll through 200 posts to find it. Instagram doesn't search saved content.

Posts Get Deleted

The creator removed their post or went private. That recipe you were saving for a special occasion? Gone forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about saving Instagram recipes.

How do I save Instagram recipes to Peel?
There are two ways: Use the share extension by tapping Share on any Instagram post or Reel, then select Peel to import directly. Or copy the link and paste it in Peel. Both methods extract the full recipe with ingredients and steps.
Does Peel work with Instagram Reels?
Peel uses AI to extract recipes from Instagram posts. It works best when the post contains clear recipe information. If extraction fails, you can always manually adjust the imported recipe.
Is saving Instagram recipes free?
Free users can try importing Instagram recipes up to 5 times. After that, you'll need Peel Premium ($2.99/month or $29.99/year) for unlimited Instagram imports.
What if the Instagram post gets deleted?
Once you save a recipe to Peel, it's yours forever. If the original Instagram post is deleted or the account goes private, your extracted recipe (ingredients, steps, notes) remains safe in your Peel library.
Can I edit the imported recipe?
Absolutely! After import, you can edit any part of the recipe. Add missing ingredients, adjust quantities, modify steps, or include your own notes. Make it your own.
