Steps

  1. Open Recipes › Import and choose the Link tab.

On the web, iPhone and Android

On the web

The Save to Hedgehog bookmarklet imports the page you're on in one click, even on sites that turn importers away.

iPhone and iPad

To import without opening Hedgehog, set up the share-sheet Shortcut: see Save recipes from anywhere.

Android

Once the app is installed, share a link from Chrome or another app and choose Hedgehog: the Link tab opens with it filled in.

How a page is read

Most recipe sites publish recipe data for search engines, and that's read first. Pages without it are read with AI, which counts toward your kitchen's 200 AI recipe imports a day. With AI turned off, links still work for pages that have recipe data. Recipes you already have are spotted before you save them twice.
