No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Wow it has Risengrød
I was wondering when Luke's link is gonna pop up.
Thank you
yeah, SEO hits recipe sites hard and requires them to demonstrate expertise by telling you about their family history before giving a brownie recipe
God I hate modern SEO
If there is it should be called Recipedia.
Just recipes.
Thank you! Like every site measures things in cups and every time I try to make anything with those measurements I get some abomination. Finding recipes with measurements I can work with has been a nightmare.
There is an iOS app called Pestle that will pull just the recipe out of any site. It also lets you resize and convert units and makes shopping lists. I think there are several other apps that do this sort of thing too.
Second this. Pestle is amazing, and one of my most-used apps. Money well spent.
That's sort of what allrecipes.com is, isn't it?
If you're looking for a wiki style nonprofit kind of thing, I'm hoping someone else can help!
I like allrecipes because it has lots of variations for the same recipe and reviews for each one.
No, it's not perfect. Reviews suffer from a first-mover advantage.
But...I can often get a really good idea if I search for three recipes for the same thing and then compare what they have in common and where they differ. The comments are great, too - they point out flaws and potential substitutions.
Curated recipe sites are great, but very few of them have good quality control - there are some excellent recipes, and also some duds that you really wonder how they made it in there.
I use Recipe Filter in Firefox, there is a Chrome version too. It automatically pops open a model on recipe pages that contains only the recipe.
Personally, after I locate a recipe I like online, I import it to AnyList - app and web interface list management solution that handles recipes really well for me.
This is the way.
I import into Paprika, a dedicated recipe management app.
I also use Paprika. Great app! I use it for storing all the recipes I like.
I also use AnyList to get around NYT paywalls. You can use the import function on the “sign-up/sign-in” page and it will import the whole recipe!
You're able to get around NYT paywall to read articles or to get recipes?
My apologies, I should have specified. I use it to import the NYT recipe information only. It won’t work on normal NYT articles.
As always, the best info is in the comments
Each recipe can have variations so one site is never enough for me.
For example, I am going to make curry pickled cauliflower. There are very basic recipes and those that add more ingredients. I found three on different sites and will merge them into one based on my tastes and ingredients on hand.
I have recently discovered that many recipe websites have a clickable link somewhere near the top of the page - before you begin scrolling through all that junk - where you can "Jump to Recipe".
It has saved a lot of my sanity.
Honestly, a better solution would be developing an extension that can identify when a recipe starts/ends and skip you right to it or remove all the extraneous content.
Kind of like an ad blocker, but for recipes with a billion miles of backstory.
It's hard to find any site that just gives the recipe. The best article recipe sites will give you some history of the dish but I still hate it. Seriously who cares that you discovered the recipe while working 8 jobs to feed your 85 kids because your 10th babydaddy left you with only 2 crackers and a lint ball and now this is the only thing they will eat? The amount of times that that basically is what the story ends up being is just ridiculous.
On a related note, why is it so hard to give measurements in both imperial and metric? I really want to have bread recipes in grams, makes it so much easier to get repeatable results.
The ones with just the recipe exist, but you won't find them on Google/etc. It's a known issue with their Page Rank system.
A lot of them now are including a link at the top to jump to the recipe
There are a bunch of different extensions for your browser that would work for this. Some just clean up the web page to show just the recipe. Others have a type of bookmark feature to save recipes locally.
There are a lot of tools to import and store them that will grab just the main recipe itself. Depends on what exactly you're looking for but I've used Mealie and HomeChart pretty extensively to keep a local book. Or if you're old school there's typically a 'print me' link on a lot of pages to either save as a PDF or print out and put in a binder.
I'm sure AI companies already index all those recipes. Have you tried asking chatgpt for a recipe? Chance that it'll give you some solid (and hopefully not poisonous) recipes without telling some sob stories first.
I’ve done that a few times. It gives an OK baseline outcome. It was good, but I’m sure online somewhere else is a better recipe
Sounds like a market gap!
