For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

Recipes are a laptop endeavour.
Yay! Me too.
Not using adblock is like not having a spam email folder.
Hey- that’s pretty handy. I didn’t know about this. Thank you!
You can only save 20 recipes before you have to pay, but you can view as many as you like without saving them. Still, a very nice app IMO.
If you’re using the app on a device, you can open links directly in it. So, if you have a bookmarks folder of recipes, you can just use your browser’s share button -> Open In -> Just the Recipe
I’ll sound like an old man, but I miss the days of going to a website and not having to deal with the SEO junk.
theres also cooked.wiki. tack “cooked.wiki/“ onto the start of a recipe URL and it scrapes and reformats for you
ah yes, a $1500 phone with software that won’t allow you to do shit under the flag of security and UI.
They’re all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.
Safari allows you to install adblockers, btw. Apple is overprotective but this isn’t really their fault.
If you are only concerned about blocking ads thats fine and good. But if your are concerned about privacy one should ditch apple devices altogether. Not to mention freedom.
Ad"Choices"…ugh, get stuffed.
Second this, works a treat.
There is no article.
All people said not to mention that recipe is unnecessarily complex.
Refrigerating the dough for an entire week will make it rather less potent, not more, while most of aroma components accumulation will happen through the first day. Not to mention here you allow it to stay at room temperature for 8 hours first before that, which is an overkill.
Just keep it at room temperature for 2 hours, let it stay in your fridge for 24 hours and you’re good to go. Or just use the sourdough directly, that’ll do.
Also, I hope you had at least 3 days (better a week for wild starters) of renewing the sourdough before you put it anywhere. Otherwise, it can have a very unstable and potentially even dangerous microbial composition.

I found after years that starters work fine if I leave them in the fridge without feeding (sometimes for weeks) and then prepare and feed them overnight or 1 day before using it.
would you say that’s dangerous?
Depends on whether you allowed your starter to go through 2-3 cycles before putting it in the fridge. If yes, you’re all clear. Essentially what protects starters and sourdough from going bad is high acidity that they develop. If you give your starter enough time before preserving it, it will retain most of that acidity, allowing you to just feed it again and then use it. If not, you’re at risk of letting molds and other harmful organisms develop - some of them do grow at fridge temperatures, and if there’s no acidity to stop them, it can be not good.
Anyway, it’s a good practice not to store sourdough for over a week - just in case.
thanks for the knowledge! very useful
Always welcome! :)
Where do you suggest to learn more about what you just said?
Unfortunately, most of my sources are either in Russian or very academic. This open-access article does a good job of reviewing many academic sources, if you’re interested.
Out of what’s popular and available in English, I’d strongly recommend Jeffrey Hamelman’s “Bread: A Baker’s Book of Techniques and Recipes”. It contains a lot of useful info on both sourdough and straight dough technology in a way that is home baker-friendly.
In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.

I use this to copypasta a recipe URL and get a clean version to look at.
I like it, but I’m sure there’s fair criticism.
I love Firefox, it is my desktop and android go to, but fuck apples bullshit.
Look into Orion browser, it allows you to use chrome and Firefox extensions on iOS, it does mean no easy bookmark or tab sharing, but small price to pay to be able to use the net again properly.
What’s the URL for this website? I want to test my pi-hole and see if stops those garbage ads from appearing.
I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It’s amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.
It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it’s not rendered for a normal visitor.
Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.
The Internet was just fine before everything had to be monetised
There are subscription recipe sites.
Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.
You’re suggesting subscriptions… On Lemmy…? Good luck lol.
Looks like a peach of an app. Nice recommendation.
Pihole has entered the chat.
Zenarmor waves.
This is the way
