Quickly Enter Recipes Into BigOven from Virtually Any Source

BigOven's recipe archive contains more than 150,000 recipes shared on the Internet over the years by users around the world, from breakfast through appetizers through mixed drinks. (In a traditional printed cookbook format, this would reach a stack more than three stories high.) Users can search this recipe collection easily from within BigOven, and import any they choose to their desktop PC with a simple click of the mouse for rating, editing, resizing, and more.

Those who already have one or more favorite sources of recipes will find BigOven a handy complement, and a place to organize them in one convenient location. Users can browse the web from within the program, and BigOven's unique "Screen Import" feature lets users grab recipe text quickly from the Windows clipboard with just a few simple clicks of the mouse. BigOven will also uniquely instantly recognize recipe text pasted in the popular "Exported from MasterCook" text format. BigOven can also import files from many older recipe program formats (MasterCook .MXP, .MX2, MealMaster .MMF, Cook'n .DBF), making it quick to build a starting collection of recipes, from slow-cooker to barbeque to popular diet c
