AI-powered cooking, minus the corporate sterility

Every recipe site is serious.
We are not.

BurntToast generates recipes from what you have in the kitchen, produces AI cooking demos, and writes the instructions like a human who has actually burned something before.

The problem

AI recipe tools are clinically boring.

DishGen, ChefGPT, FoodsGPT — they're all the same: paste ingredients, get a list, hope it works. No personality. No video. No "you've made a terrible mistake, here's how to fix it."

Meanwhile, the best food content on the internet is driven by personality and humor. Chef John has 1 billion views. Tasty changed food media forever. Sorted Food built a brand from jokes about overcooking chicken.

Nobody has done that with AI generation.

That's the gap.

What we built

Three things that actually matter in a recipe.

Recipes from your ingredients

Tell BurntToast what's in your fridge, your pantry, that one lonely can in the back corner. It generates recipes that actually work with what you have — no store run required.

Example: "I have chicken thighs, coconut milk, and a thumb of ginger. Cook me something."

AI cooking demos, every recipe

Every recipe ships with an AI-generated cooking video demo. Not a stock clip — actual visualization of the technique, the timing, the "don't do what I'm about to do wrong."

Demo includes: Step-by-step video, pan techniques, timing cues, "don't burn this" warnings

Written by someone funny

No corporate recipe writing. BurntToast recipes include actual cooking advice, joke ingredient substitutions, and the kind of notes a real chef would write after the third glass of wine.

Example note: "If it smells like it's going bad, it probably is. Trust your nose, not the expiration date."

A recipe, end to end.

You give us your ingredients
Type what you have — "chicken breast, lemon, garlic, spinach, half a can of tomatoes." Even if it sounds like a sad fridge.
2
BurntToast generates a recipe + demo
A full recipe with ingredients, steps, timing notes — plus an AI cooking demo showing the technique.
3
You cook. You don't burn it.
Follow the demo, laugh at the notes, make something good. Probably.

The tone
"Recipes should feel like advice from someone who has actually burned something. Not a warranty document with measurements."
Recipe writing

"Season generously. You're not defusing a bomb — you're seasoning food. If the garlic smells like old news, use more. Trust your gut. Or your nose. Same thing, mostly."

Ingredient notes

"If your chili flake is older than your last relationship, it's probably lost its heat. Freshen up or double the quantity. Your dinner deserves better than archival spices."

Technique tips

"Don't overcrowd the pan. The moisture has nowhere to go and your food steams instead of sears. You want caramelization, not a sauna. Give them space. They earned it."

Cooking doesn't have to be boring.
Neither does AI.

BurntToast is for people who want a recipe that actually helps — with video, with humor, with the kind of real advice that turns "I have no idea what to cook" into "actually, this looks doable."
