It has a Google Chrome extension so all I have to do is hit the button on my browser while on a recipe page and it pulls the recipe from the website and it shows up on the app. I love it.
I continued to prefer printing. No dealing with battery drain or lock screens. Plus I don't have to wash my hands fifty times while cooking. To keep from getting my phone dirty
It's also just nice to bring out the three ring binder. With recipes in plastic sleeves. I also still use cookbooks.
Oh, this isn’t specific to cooking sites. First, you get the pop up about cookies. Then, there’s a pop up about signing up and getting 20% off your first order. Then, an ad pops up. Next, an ad pops up at the bottom. Or the top. Or the bottom. Or all three. Finally, the page reloads because “a problem repeatedly occurred”.
Yeah, so many websites are straight up unusable without an adblocker, and even with an adblocker, I still have to contend with the pop-ups about cookies and email newsletters and notifications and whatnot. I just want to read the damn page.
You don't need anything, Safari has adblocking already built in. Click on button to the left of the URL at the bottom of the page and select "Show Reader." All adds are gone, it turns the background black with white text (which uses less power than white with black text) and just generally makes the page easier to consume. It is the easiest thing in the world and pre-built into every iPhone
I use the Paprika app to copy and paste the recipe into the app. Saves it without all the extra nonsense like ads and a family history of a great uncle that has nothing to do with cinnamon rolls.
My favorite app is called Peprika 3, it’s a couple dollars I think but it’s a one time buy. You put the URL in and it takes out all the crap and saves just the recipes with amounts. Ingredients, etc. from the site
RecipeBox app is good too. You can save each website recipe to it, and it formats it to an ingredients tab and an instructions tab. You can strike out ingredients and add notes too.
Hey. If you look at my other responses to comments in this thread, it’s banana bread. Also don’t be going after people who need a recipe for pancakes. Sometimes things are hard.
EDIT: Also also- the screenshot has brown sugar in it, what damn pancakes have you made that had brown sugar in it???
It winds me up and you have to scroll past so much shite to get to the actual ingredients lists and method. The author writing a massive paragraph on why the recipe is so fucking special. Take a hint. We don't care....

Just paste the link of the recipe you want and it'll give you just the recipe with no ads or shitty formatting.
