    About recipe.gripe

    A recipe box that lives in your browser. Type a recipe in, paste one, or import it from a recipe page's link. Then scale it to the number of servings you need, switch between US cups and metric grams, add its ingredients to a shopping list, and cook from it in a big-text mode that keeps your screen awake and runs the timers mentioned in each step.

    How does scaling round?

    Like a cook would. US amounts become kitchen fractions (⅛, ¼, ⅓, ½, ⅔, ¾) and move between teaspoons, tablespoons and cups, so 6 teaspoons shows as 2 tablespoons and ⅔ cup plus a spoonful is written that way instead of 0.71 cups. Metric amounts round to whole grams or millilitres, then to the nearest 5 above 100. Lines without a leading amount, like "salt to taste", stay as written.

    How are cups turned into grams?

    Volume to volume and weight to weight are exact. Cups to grams needs the ingredient's density, so the converter uses a table of about 40 common ingredients (flour, sugars, butter, oats, rice, milk and so on), shown above. Cup weights depend on how the cup is filled, so treat them as close, not exact. Ingredients not in the table keep their volume.

    What happens when I import from a link?

    Our server fetches that one page for you, reads only the recipe data the site publishes for search engines (schema.org Recipe), and sends it back to your browser. It doesn't store the page or the recipe, and the site sees our server, not you. Some sites block automatic fetching; then copy the recipe text and use Paste text. Imports are for your own use: please don't republish other people's recipes.

    Where are my recipes kept?

    In this browser's storage on this device (IndexedDB). There's no account and no sync. Use Export backup to keep a copy or move recipes to another device, and Delete everything to wipe them.
