What CookTok is
CookTok is an online tool that converts cooking videos from TikTok into written recipes. The workflow is deliberately small: copy the link of a video you found interesting, paste it into the site, click convert, and read what comes back. What comes back is more than a transcript. You get a complete ingredient list including substitution suggestions, step-by-step cooking instructions, highlights of the key steps pulled from the video, and practical tips for avoiding common mistakes. Recipes can be saved for later, and there are popular categories to browse if you are looking for something new rather than something specific. A link back to the original video is included. The service is currently offered for free.

Who it is for
- Busy people who want to cook something they saw online tonight

What to watch out for
Free access can change without notice, and a free tool that depends on scraping video content is exactly the kind of service that can disappear or start charging. Conversion accuracy depends entirely on how clearly the original video communicates: a fast, silent or badly lit clip will produce a vague recipe, and quantities in particular are often approximate. The tool is tied to TikTok, so videos on other platforms are out of scope. Check the original video before you start cooking if a step looks ambiguous, and use your own judgement on seasoning and timing.
