Key Ingredient Recipe Reader HD+ Tablet Review

Post by Apoptosis »

The Key Ingredient Recipe Reader Tablet that we reviewed last year was a bit of a disappointment as the tablet itself was one of the worst that we have used and we figured out that the app on the tablet was basically the same one you can download from the App store and put on any mobile device. When the folks at Key Ingredient asked us if we were interested in reviewing their new Key Ingredient Recipe Reader HD+ (product page) that they just came out with it really caught us off guard. Usually when a company gets a not so positive review they try to explain the flaws in your thoughts and then swiftly black ball you. We explained out reservations with Key Ingredient, but they were confident that the new Key Ingredient Recipe Reader HD+ tablet w/ stand would basically help redeem our faith in the company. Legit Reviews has been reviewing computer hardware for over 13 years and we certainly admire their confidence that they have a better product and that we’ll still give them a fair and honest review.

Really looking at this to get my father-in-law but did you try it in a kitchen setting with ingredients flying about, mixers throwing stuff into the neighbors yard, etc?

We got him a smart phone when we switched to AT&T and the main problem he has is how small the keys are for the keyboard....does this have the larger style keys in landscape mode so he can type his recipes in? Can we sync it from Mastercook (LOL yea it is old but he has everything in there). Will it do the dishes? Seriously, i would buy 10 of them if it did.

Tons of questions :) get to cooking Nate LOL

You tell me :)

They take up about half the screen. The image isn't that great, but I just snapped it with a flash and didn't put it into the light box.

I asked Key Ingredient about the other question and it was lightly used in the kitchen and sadly it didn't do the dishes!

Answer:
The tablet supports any of the Android Mastercook apps, but doesn't directly support syncing from Mastercook. Here is a link to all of the related apps that would work fine on the tablet from the Amazon store.

Nice, full sized android keyboard. I need to get it through my head that this is an Android tablet with the cooking programs installed (with a few added features).

Thanx man

No thanx for the non-dish-doing stuff :evil:
