Use Cases

Unlike recipe managers that are opinionated about how you should do that, Utensil exists to let you use the tools and methods that work for you, whether that’s in print or in some electronic format. Simply clip the recipe with Utensil and then export to your favorite app or print it.

Clip whatever recipes sound good at the moment, then keep only your favorite dishes. Simply clip recipes to Utensil, review or experiment at your convenience, and then export only the best recipes to your collection. No cluttering up your recipe collection while you experiment!

Or using Utensil's Shortcut action make a shortcut that asks ChatGPT for complementary recipes!

Need to modify or scale a recipe? No problem. Simply clip it to Utensil, edit any field or substitute the photo, then export the recipe any way you’d like!
Within Utensil, scroll to the recipe you'd like to export. Select the export option at the bottom of the screen, either an app or a file format, tap the ^ button and follow the prompts. Or use Utensil's Shortcut Action to clip a recipe and manipulate the recipe data any way you'd like.
There are a couple ways to print from Utensil but the easiest method is to select PDF export and when the share sheet opens, select Print. Your nicely formatted PDF file will then print.
