Cook without scrolling past the ads, without hurting the blogger.
StoveTab shows a recipe's steps one at a time in a panel beside the food blog you're reading, so you stop scrolling up and down past ads and stories to find your place. Nothing on the author's page is hidden or blocked: their ads, comments and newsletter stay, and they keep the visit.
On iPhone, the StoveTab app opens the recipe's own page with cook mode in a sheet over it.
How it works
- 1
The author's page stays open
In Chrome the steps sit in the side panel beside it. On iPhone they're in a sheet over it.
- 2
One step at a time
The step you're on, in type you can read from the stove, with the ingredients it uses and what's coming next.
- 3
A highlight is the only change
The step you're cooking is outlined or highlighted on the author's page, and one tap scrolls the page to it. Nothing else changes.
- 4
Their name goes with it
The author's site is on every panel and share, and every card on stovetab.com leads back to their page.

Questions cooks ask
Is StoveTab an ad blocker?
No. The author's ads load and show as usual. You read the steps in the panel instead of scrolling the page to find your place, and the page stays open the whole time.
How is this different from extensions that pull the recipe off the page?
Showing the recipe somewhere else costs the author the visit, and the ads that pay for the recipe. StoveTab keeps the author's page open while you cook, never shows a recipe's steps away from it, and every recipe on stovetab.com links to its author.
Where do the steps in the panel come from?
From the recipe markup the author publishes for search engines, and their recipe card. StoveTab keeps a copy so the panel can show the steps, but only while the author's page is open beside it.
Does the author know StoveTab sent me?
When you open a recipe from stovetab.com, StoveTab counts that click for the author. Authors can email from their site's domain and ask for their numbers, recipe by recipe.
Is StoveTab free?
Yes. Cook mode is free in Chrome and on iPhone: steps one at a time, timers, scaling, unit conversion and your saved place. StoveTab Pro, $29 a year, is for cooks who keep a lot: more than 3 boards and 10 of their own recipes, one shopping list across recipes, and photos on the cooks they log.
Write recipes? Read our promise to the people who write them. Also: recipe cook mode for Chrome and scaling and unit conversion.
