How to print a recipe without the ads
Printing straight from a recipe site can take six pages of ads, comments and photos. Here’s how to print just the ingredients and steps, usually on one page.
Print from ClipaRecipe
- Clip the recipe. Paste its link on ClipaRecipe’s home page and save it. It’s free, and you can try it without an account.
- Set the servings if you’re cooking for more or fewer people. The printed amounts change to match, in the ingredient list and in the steps.
- Press Print on the recipe page, or use your browser’s print (Ctrl+P, or ⌘+P on a Mac). On a phone, tap Share, then Print.
The printout leaves out the site’s menus and buttons, and keeps a small photo, the ingredients, the steps and the “Recipe by” credit with the original link, so you can always find the cook again.
Printing tips
- Save paper: in the print window, turn off headers and footers, and choose “Fit to page” if the recipe runs just over one page.
- Make a PDF: choose “Save as PDF” as the printer to keep a copy on your phone or share it.
- For the fridge door: scale the recipe first, so the printed card already has the amounts you use.
- Many sites have their own print button near the recipe card. It works too, though some still add ads or ask you to sign up.
Questions
Will the printout have ads?
No. ClipaRecipe shows no ads on recipes, and the printout leaves out menus and buttons too.
Can I print a scaled recipe?
Yes. Set the servings first, and the ingredients and the amounts in the steps print at the new size.
Do I need an account?
No. You can clip and print a recipe right away. Add your email when you want to keep your recipes for good.
