Disclosure: I received this product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
I am having so much fun with my new toy, um tool, for my kitchen! It's called the
Key Ingredient Recipe Reader and basically it's an electronic interactive tablet cookbook. It is so easy to use that even your great-great-grandma would be completely enamored with it.
It is kitchen-safe with its sealed glass touch-screen. The Recipe Reader is completely mess-proof and can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. Not only can I load all my own recipes on it, I have access to the entire online recipe database via my wifi connection.
The base of it is angled so I can leave it right on my counter-top to have easy access to the recipe I'm making for that meal. The easy tabs at the top navigate through the recipe, while the buttons at the bottom of the
Recipe Reader offer me even more options.
There are full color photos, ingredient lists, and step by step instructions for the recipes. It would be the perfect gift for moms, dads, grandparents, college students, newly married couples and anyone else who loves to cook. If they don't love to cook, maybe this will motivate them to cook more!
Navigating around on the Recipe Reader takes just minutes to learn and there's a handy user guide included. It comes with an electrical connection, turns on with one click, then searches for wifi connections and allows you to log in. The touch screen is very responsive without being overly sensitive.
The Recipe Reader is equipped with three kitchen timers that can run simultaneously and a planner feature that allows quick access to selected recipes to make planning meals a breeze! A substitution tool is available in case my pantry is missing an ingredient and there's also a conversion calculator.
Key Ingredient (
www.keyingredient.com) hosts the web's largest shareable collection of over 1.5 million user-generated recipes. I can log onto my laptop or the Recipe Reader to access my free account. I have had such a great time playing with it and have already made three of the recipes I found on it. I love mine and totally recommend it!

This looks like it would be so handy to use! I really like that it has three timers. I often have to use a timer on my phone and the one on the microwave at the same time. This would be so much handier! I'd love to have one of these!
ReplyDeleteI really like that this is dedicated to recipes. I could store it in a drawer when not in use.
ReplyDeleteDO YOU SEARCH THE WEB OR DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY TAKE YOU TO THAT WEBSITE?
ReplyDeleteThe links in my post will take you to the site.
DeleteMy goodness, how cool is this!? I love playing with these kinds of things, and I've been told that I'm not the greatest cook, so I guess I could use all the kitchen help I can get!
ReplyDeleteMess proof-sounds good to me-love finding new recipes....thanks for telling us about this!
ReplyDeleteThis would be so convenient. I like to try recipes I find online all the time. I either end up running back and forth to read the stuff of my PC screen or have to scribble it down on a sheet of scrap paper.

I love to cook with my grandkids and this would be wonderful for us to use. Being able to see the picture of what we were making and then have them help to read the instructions would not only be good for their reading skills, but also for our bonding time. I love this. :D
ReplyDeleteI love that this has sealed glass so when I accidentally spill things I don't have to worry about it breaking!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea, I am always messing up my recipes when I get them all dirty and or loose them and can't find them when I want it. To have them all in one place is a great ides, plus being able to go on line to fine a recipe is great too
ReplyDeletethis is so AWESOME! I want it. I have a ton of cookbooks but it seems they are "messy" after years of use, so this would be great AND I would end up with a whole shelf back once my cookbooks get packed away (or given away)
ReplyDeleteThis is something I really need in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteWow, it seems really organized and I could definitely use this!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Sakovitz
This would really make cooking much easier for me, thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI know I would like to have this, but the hubby (a chef) may scoff at it.
ReplyDeleteI could really use this. I just planned on cooking more recipes and exploring even more. this would be perfect
ReplyDeleteI love that it is easy to clean. This would be Awesome for my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThis really does seem to have everything , is mess proof and I love the simultaneous timers
ReplyDeleteI like the three kitchen timers I would love to win this for my mother in law!
ReplyDeletei like that you took the picture and i can see the print so clearly..i would love to have one of these
ReplyDeleteThis looks really neat
ReplyDeleteThis would be so convenient. I like to try recipes I find online all the time so instead of moving my computer into the kitchen I'd just carry this with me.
ReplyDeleteI would so love to have this! I cook every night and lugging my laptop around is cumbersome.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a woman designed this;) I love the timers, wipe off screen, ingredient substitution, conversion charts, and I REALLY love the meal planner!! I want it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome
ReplyDeleteWow this is too cool! I would love this, as I currently drag my laptop into the kitchen and try to use the recipes that way!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this Key Ingredient Recipe Reader! I am putting it on my Christmas Wish List! I like the fact that it has built in timers, which I desperately need!
ReplyDeleteThis would be one worn out device in my kitchen!!! MUST HAVE IT!!! LOL. I have a million cookbooks and always end up using my phone for recipes! Would LOVE to have this! Wait, I may have implied that. LOL. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I find I keep making the same recipes...too lazy to pull out the cookbooks. I love the three timer feature too!
ReplyDeleteNow this sounds like a very handy tool to have in my kitchen, and I like that it is slanted for easy reading and you don't have to find something to prop it up to red while you are working with it. I love trying new recipes.. and this would be fun..
ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds really neat. I'm not very good at cooking and don't know too many recipes so this would really come in handy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about this neat tool. =)

I love to cook, but since I got involved in dog rescue - and especially since I started my own rescue last year - I often don't know until last minute what I am going to make for dinner. This sounds like it would make my life at dinner time much easier
ReplyDeleteThis device looks amazing! I love that it can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth and has wifi connection. This would be so helpful with our busy day to day family life.
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat! I love that it's mess proof! many a cookbook I've had has all sorts of stains in it lol I would love to try this out :)
ReplyDeleteWhat will they think of next? I don't even have an e-reader yet or an IPad or a smart phone--My Mom would probably love this-no more hunting for recipes.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. We're always trying to come up with ideas for dinner and this would really help us. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome product! I would say a good 80-90% of my new recipes come from internet searches, to have this in the kitchen with a reserve of that many recipes makes it a product I want to have.
ReplyDeleteupstatemissy@gmail.com
this sounds like a must have for households! My teen is wanting to cook and this would be perfect for her to keep her motivated and great for me to find new easy recipes to try!
ReplyDeleteBarrie
i like it it is amazing and make find the recipe so easy and so fast and don't need to search for paper i wrote the recipe on it
ReplyDeleteI think the substitution tool and conversion calculator are greta ideas. (Hey, the whole thing is a great idea! No more recipes thumbtacked to the inside of my kitchen cabinets!)
ReplyDeleteEVEN OUR GRAND MOTHERS WOULD BE SO PROUD OF THIS !!!!!!!!!!! I THINK OK THEY WOULD ,,ALL THE NICE FEATURES ,,,NICE GIFT TO OWN.THANKS
ReplyDeletei love to cook and think this will be real useful.
ReplyDeleteI love how you can lay it right on the counter and cook away. I like you you could see what you are making so you can compare
ReplyDeleteI love this! it's so convenient and organized.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a welcome addition to my kitchen! It would be great to put all my recipes on it instead of having them in various cookbooks. Love the timer too!
ReplyDeletesuebee05@gmail.com
Sweet gadget! The timer and substitution tools are extremely handy features, and the designers really put a lot of thought into how this could be put to best use by cooks in the kitchen. Great review!

this would be so great. NO more digging in boxes of index cards to find recipes I need.
ReplyDeletewow would love to win this the build in timer is something I can really use I am a cook and love trying new recipes and my dd is learning to cook and this would really help her learn and feel real comfort in the kitchen
ReplyDeleteI use Key Ingredient to store my recipes, so this would be a GREAT tool for me to have! I love cooking, but I hate having to use my iPad in the kitchen - it is not waterproof!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I always bring my phone into the kitchen when I cook because my recipes are stored in my email and it always gets so dirty.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I love that it cleans up so easily. I currently use my phone or laptop for recipes and they don't clean up quite as easily LOL
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE that you can't ruin this with kitchen messes! I am always terrified when I bring my iPad into the kitched for a recepie...what a great product.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great, my husband is the cook in our family, he always has to go back and forth from the computer when he is looking up a new recipe. He would love this!
ReplyDeletessgsweeps @ hotmail .com
I'd love this so there' no more running back and forth to the computer to read a recipe. The fact that it have three timers is sweet too!
ReplyDeleterafflecopter: happi shopr
Wow I have never heard of this but it sounds absolutely amazing!!! My favorite part of it is that it has a planner feature. I always struggle with planning meals and thinking creatively throughout the week and this would make it so easy! I need to get this asap!
ReplyDeleteI like the substitution tool. I am always having to google substitutions when I am missing an ingredient.
ReplyDeletekellywcu8888ATgmailDOTcom
Oh, so nice for my mom who doesn't use a computer.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've seen of this tool. I wonder if my hubby, our cook, would use it?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I'm always running to my desktop and referencing my smartphone for recipes and what not. I would love one of these!

This is such an amazing device. It would be great if I could have this technology in my kitchen. It would make an excellent time saver for me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks SO convenient! Love that its tilted so its able to just lay on the counter!
ReplyDelete-Brooke Adametz
What a great product! My two favorite features are that it is can easily be cleaned and that it has three timers that can run simultaneously.
ReplyDeleteKatie Roch
This is such a space saver. You can load your recipes or use theirs online. Easy to clean and it's just cool too.
ReplyDeleteI hate trying to use my laptop or nook to look up recipes, since I'm always afraid they'll get dirty, or they go to sleep on me. The fact that this is mess proof, is great. Combine that with all the other features (I especially love the three timers and the substitution tool)
ReplyDeleteJennelle J
i love that it can be wiped off easily. i love to cook but you should see my cookbook. its a mess and i have to put my laptop on the washer so i dont spill nothing on it when i get a recipe online. i have to keep going back and forth to follow the recipe and to keep the laptop mess free. wonderful product!
ReplyDeletei am not very technical oriented, but this looks simple enough to learn. I love having pictures with my recipes and this does!
ReplyDeleteIt's like a cross between a Jitterbug phone and an inexpensive eReader.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this but it looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteI like that the bottom in angled & the wi-fi capabilities.
ReplyDeleteeg kaufman
I love this gadget! Thanks for the great review. This would come in handy for all my holiday and get together needs! I am forever rewriting recipes that got ruined while cooking. I am asking Santa for one this year for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis looks realy easy to use
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have heard of people putting their iPad into a zip-loc bag and using it in the kitchen as a recipe-reader, but with a mess-proof, wipeable sealed glass display, this problem is solved. I also love the idea of being able to import recipes from Key Ingredient, and the three timers is just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea something like this existed. This is fabulous! I love that it has 3 timers that can run at the same time. Oh my goodness, this is going on my Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gadget ... and I so need one for my kitchen. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think my husband my wrestle me for this! I'd love to "share" it with him!
ReplyDeleteI love the sealed glass touch-screen. I am a messy cook and all my recipes and recipe books are in terrible condition because of my using them in the kitchen while cooking.
ReplyDeleteI love the substitution tool. How useful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
i love that this is kitchen safe and can be wiped off with a damp cloth! (alisa n.)
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME help in the kitchen! I'd love to have one!

This is awesome! I'm always using my smartphone in the kitchen for recipes, but I'm terrified I'm going to ruin it; with this cool gadget I wouldn't have to worry anymore. Technology is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I know I would love this, but this would also make the best Christmas present for my mom
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for my spouse to replace is first gen iPad so I could inherit in and use it for recipes, but this Key Ingredient Recipe Reader sounds like it's just exactly what I need. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this....I could get rid of so many cookbooks
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this. What an awesome idea! diesel_had_my_baby@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this! It seems like all my recipes from books are messy or I've spilled something on them at one point. This would be great to have!
ReplyDeleteI like that it is completely mess-proof
ReplyDeleteOH! I could really use this and I like that you can wipe it off with a damp towel
ReplyDeleteI love this. I don't know how to cook anything and always have to google recipes when I want to make something This would definitely make it a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a great tool in the kitchen....useful and easy to keep clean....awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds wonderful. It would be very handy to have this in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis looks AWESOME! I would love to have a portable little tool to look up recipes! It would be so much easier than taking my laptop into the kitchen! :) God bless!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so nice to have all my recipes in one place and actually have them readable. My writing isn't so neat, so this would be a help.
ReplyDeleteThis would definitely be put to good use in our home.
ReplyDeleteWe love to cook and try new recipes weekly. and this would be so handy.

This is so a great product because my hubby is a messy cook and this would be protected from him. I like that you can store your own recipes ..no more paper trail.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so awesome to have. I am always having to use my laptop to find a recipe and then I have to carry it to where the printer is and printing it off. I would prefer using this product. I keep my recipes on little index cards and they are unorganized.
ReplyDeleteAmazing.. this would be so handy.. I'm so unorganized.. omg crossing fingers.. thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteOMG I need this!! Really a great help in the kitchen.. less little notes and index box bye bye..lol
ReplyDeletei think my dear hubby, who does the cooking in our house would enjoy the usefulness of this device. it seems like it would almost be a must have for those that say...well i have this and this..what could i possibly make?
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have a very small kitchen and lots of cookbooks and this would be the perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I use my phone sometimes for recipes but it's too small to really see!
ReplyDeleteI love that this is for just recipes and can easily be cleaned. -Vera
ReplyDeleteI love the substitution and conversion tools!
ReplyDeleteConversion tool right there on the counter... now I NEED THAT. I love this nifty piece of kitchen tech!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I really need
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic tool. I'm adding this to my Christmas Wishlist!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I would love to have all my recipes included in one of these.
ReplyDeleteThis would be really handy! I hate getting smudges and stains on my recipe cards. The fact that the screen can be easily cleaned is a big plus.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so convenient for when I am cooking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great product! All the recipes in one convenient spot and spill proof! Sounds like something my boyfriend would call "Sammy Proof"! I love that I could have the recipe right at my finger tips!
ReplyDeleteI would love this for my mother. She is ALWAYS coming up with recipes but has no way of keeping track of them! She would love this!
ReplyDeleteBrittney House BBrittBrat1398@yahoo.com
I love the idea of this. I use recipe cards that end up getting stained and dirty. this would be so easy to use KairaWolfie@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThis is great - I usually just write really brief notes on a scrap of paper so the recipes don't get messed up - LOL What a life saver this would be for me - LOL
ReplyDeleteI like that it's easy to clean and has 3 timers.
ReplyDeleteslehan at juno dot com
This looks great to use! I have no organization of recipes and this really brings cooking into the 21st century!
ReplyDeletesugarsweet7202@yahoo(dot)com
WOuld love to have one of these. Would make cooking much more easier and enjoyable

I love that it's kitchen safe. I also like the individual timers, what a help that would be!
ReplyDeleteMichelle Tucker
This would help me become more organized in the kitchen! I love it and think it would be a benefit to anyone!
ReplyDeletetridingermckee at gmail dot com
My mom would LOVE this! (Well, I'd love it, too, but that's beside the point.) She has so many bookmarked recipes that she could put all into one place with this.
