How to print recipes without the life story, the ads or the ink bill

Short answer: To print a recipe cleanly, use the site's own Print Recipe button if the recipe sits in a recipe card, since it opens a stripped-down version. If there is no button, paste the page address into a printer-friendly tool, delete the story and the photos, and print the result as one page.
A recipe is roughly 300 words of ingredients and method. The page it lives on is usually 2,000 words of memoir, eleven photographs, a video player, three ad slots and a comment section, printing as seven or eight sheets. These guides cover getting the recipe alone onto one page, deciding which pictures are worth the ink, and turning a pile of printouts into a binder and a weekly meal plan that survive a working kitchen.
