BigOven iOS Review

As I’ve said before, I’m no cook. In fact, the only thing I really know how to make is mac n’ cheese. Well, as long as all the instructions are on the box. And even then I usually end up burning it. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is that I can still learn. Well, probably not me. But other people probably could still learn. And, like with many learning experiences, gaining knowledge on how to cook can be done with a little help from your smartphone. Let’s take a look at the BigOven app for iOS devices.

What Is BigOven?

The BigOven app is all about getting recipes in a simple, approachable manner. Do all of them require a big oven? I’m not sure. Like I said, not really much of a cook. And if they don’t all require a big oven, the name is a bit misleading, isn’t it? I’m losing focus here. The app has a number of different ways to show you its various recipes. For example, there’s one category for recently top-reviewed recipes and others for sweets. And, like any rational person, I went straight for the sweets.

How Is The App?

BigOven does a great job of giving you all the tools you need to make a number of different recipes. Well, except the actual food. I believe you have to go to some kind of food store for that. Regardless, the ingredients list they offer is very comprehensive and easy to understand.

The Bottom Line

BigOven is a pretty good app for finding some inspiration in the kitchen. In addition to giving you the recipes, you’re also able to make personal grocery lists so you can get all the ingredients you need. Which is pretty nice for those of us that forget to go shopping for food until we’re hungry.
