Getting the best results from PasteAndTaste is easy when you follow these simple tips:

1. Use High-Quality Videos

The clearer the video, the better our AI can identify ingredients and steps. HD videos with good lighting produce the most accurate extractions.

2. Choose Videos with Clear Instructions

Videos where the cook verbally explains each step tend to produce better results than purely visual content. Look for videos where ingredients and measurements are clearly stated.

3. Shorter Videos Work Better

Focused recipe videos (under 15 minutes) typically produce cleaner extractions than longer vlogs or compilations. If a video contains multiple recipes, our AI will extract the primary one.

4. Review and Edit After Extraction

While our AI is highly accurate, it's always a good idea to review the extracted recipe. You can easily edit any ingredient quantities, steps, or timings directly in PasteAndTaste.

5. Try Different Platforms

PasteAndTaste works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Each platform has unique content creators, so don't limit yourself to just one source!
