Sharing Your Cooks

When you nail a cook, share it. CookStache creates a shareable cook card with your photo, recipe details, and a link that anyone can open — even if they do not have the app.

How to Share a Cook

Open any cook from your Cooks list and tap the share icon in the top right corner of the screen (it looks like a connected dots icon). This opens the Share screen.

The Share Card

The Share screen builds a visual cook card from your cook data. It includes the cook title, your rating, the hero photo, and all the key details — protein type, weight, equipment, temperature, cook time, wood type, and the rubs and sauces you used.

At the bottom of the card you will see "Made with CookStache" and a QR code that links directly to your shared cook page. Below the card is a shareable URL (tap to copy) and your cook photos — select which photos to include with the share.

You have two sharing options at the bottom:

"Share Image" sends the visual cook card as an image through your phone's share sheet — perfect for texting, posting to social media, or sending in a group chat.

"Copy Text" copies the cook details as formatted text so you can paste it into a message, email, or post.

What the Recipient Sees

When someone opens your shared cook link or scans the QR code, they see a clean web page at cookstache.com with your full cook details.

The shared page shows the hero photo, cook title, rating, date, and all the details as tag chips — protein, weight, equipment, temperature, time, servings, wood type, and even your specific grill model. Cook stages show the temperature and time breakdown.

Under "From the Stache," the rubs and sauces you used are listed with "Find on Amazon" links so the person viewing your cook can buy the same products.

Scroll down and they can see the full recipe with ingredients, numbered steps, and your cook photos. Print and Share buttons are available at the top of the recipe section.

At the bottom, an "Open in CookStache" button lets them jump straight into the app if they have it installed, or "Get CookStache free" links them to download it.

What Gets Shared

Your shared cook includes the cook title, rating, photos, protein, temperature, time, weight, equipment, wood type, rubs and sauces used, ingredients, and steps. Your personal notes are not shared — those stay private.

Anyone with the link can view the cook on the web. They do not need a CookStache account to see it.
