## What is Back Burner?

Your Saved folder is full of recipes you meant to make. Back Burner gets them off the back burner and onto your plate.

Share a recipe post or reel to Back Burner from Instagram, TikTok or Facebook, paste a link, or share a screenshot, and you get a clean, simple recipe: the creator's exact amounts, short steps and macros per serving. Then plan your week, shop once, and cook everything in one go.

SAVE ANY RECIPE
• Share a post or reel straight to Back Burner, or paste a link from most recipe sites
• Import from screenshots, or a photo of a cookbook page or a handwritten recipe card
• Ingredients exactly as the creator wrote them, with steps that show every amount
• The creator stays credited, with a link back to the original post
• Get a notification when your recipe is ready

KNOW YOUR MACROS
• Calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving, matched to USDA nutrition data
• Set daily targets and see each planned day against them

PLAN YOUR WEEK
• Monday to Sunday, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
• Cooking for more people? Set the portions for any meal
• Fridge-life warnings tell you which portions to freeze on prep day, and when to thaw them
• Freezer advice on every recipe: how well it freezes, and for how long

SHOP ONCE
• One shopping list for the whole week, merged across every recipe
• Sorted by aisle and rounded to the packages you actually buy
• Pantry staples stay out of the way

COOK EVERYTHING TOGETHER
• One prep timeline that runs the oven and the stove at the same time, so everything finishes together
• Cook mode walks you through one step at a time, with the amounts right in each step
• Timers alert you even when your phone is locked

YOUR BACK BURNER, TRACKED
• See how long each recipe has been waiting
• Rate what you've made, and add your own notes and tweaks
• Search everything you've saved by name, creator or ingredient
• Filter by breakfast, lunch and dinner, sides, sauces, snacks and more
