About BoilDown
BoilDown is a free tool that does one thing and does it well: it takes any recipe URL and gives you just the ingredients and instructions. No life stories. No pop-ups. No endless scrolling past vacation photos to find out how much flour you need.
Why We Built This
We love cooking. We also love finding new recipes online. What we don't love is scrolling through a 3,000-word essay about someone's grandmother's trip to Tuscany just to find out how to make pasta sauce.
Recipe websites have become bloated with stories, ads, and pop-ups — all designed to keep you on the page longer for ad revenue. The actual recipe is buried somewhere at the bottom. BoilDown fixes that. Paste a link, get the recipe. That's it.
How It Works
Instant Extraction
Paste any recipe URL and our system reads the page, identifies the recipe content, and extracts just the ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Clean Display
The extracted recipe is displayed in a clean, easy-to-read format with large fonts and clear organization. No distractions.
Print-Friendly
Every recipe comes with a print button that produces a clean, ink-friendly printout you can take straight to the kitchen.
Privacy-First
We don't store your recipes or track what you cook. We only log anonymous domain-level analytics to improve the service.
A Note on Recipe Attribution
We believe recipe creators deserve credit for their work. Every recipe extracted through BoilDown includes a link back to the original source. We encourage you to visit the original page to support the creators whose recipes you enjoy.
