Can you type your own family recipes into this device. My daughter wants a family recipe book for Christmas and she does almost everything electronically

You can. In fact that was one of my wife's favorite parts about the gift, taking 100's of index cards, magazine scraps, etc. and inputting the recipes into the Key Ingredient site. (First you enter them into your personalized page on KeyIngredient.com, then it automatically syncs the recipes to the Key Ingredient reader in the kitchen). It's very easy and organized. We love it!

Actually, she will be able to make an account with Key Ingredient and she can input all her recipes on her computer and then she can sync to the reader and all her recipes will show up on the reader. It's pretty slick for what it is designed for - I love having all my favorite recipes on my kitchen counter. It isn't a ipad or tablet - so if you are looking for apps and a way to surf the internet this is not your device.

Yes indeed, you can put any recipe you want in it. I had alot already saved on my computer (I too keep my recipes electronically). I just copied the recipes and pasted into the recipe reader. You can add your own picture or one from the internet (with the URL). I absolutely love mine. Because it is WiFi, after you add them, you just have the reader update from the internet. You can share your recipes with others or keep them private (you pick the setting after adding the recipe). You make your own cookbooks and can put the recipes into those catagories, so easy. If you daughter gets one I hope she enjoys it as much as I do. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes indeed, you can put any recipe you want in it.

Hi...I asked my daughter about this as she is the one who uses it, and she said, "Yes, you can!" Enjoy this product - we sure have! Have a great holiday!

Yes. The app just has a few more features, like making the food, and a translator. You do NOT need the app.

Probably if your Daughter has this device on her. And you have it down loaded on your iphone

I have no idea. I bought an iPod Touch to experiment with and it is a great games device. It sucks for data entry - you can't enter anywhere near as easily as with the stylus on a Palm and I have a range of folding keyboards that allow me to touch-type into my Palm.

It has a recipe book that comes with it but you could just look at one of them that is close if you want to change it a little and be just fine, that is what I've done. I have made peach jam, blueberry jam, grape jelly and blackberry jelly this year with it and they all turned out great even though I used my recipes.

Answer from Titantech: Merry Christmas. You can use all the features existing.

Sorry I never use iWriter or a Novel Idea. I gave the iPad to my 9 year old and I do see her using the keyboards every now and then. She always forgets to charge the keyboard so I have to do it every night.

Hi Lulu-No but you can go on line and get many different recipes. I do have an old family recipe that I would share if you are interested. It is short and simple. just send me your e-mail address

This thing has NEVER worked properly, even using only the recipes they provided (it never worked with traditional family recipes either). I sold it at a garage sale for $5.

I agree. I DID get a netbook for the kitchen and travel. The KeyIngredient website has alot of issues, so I use allrecipies.com and its great. Both of my daughters also listed their recipies on the site so we can go into each others cookbooks (no more calls of :Mom I need the recipie for...."although I'd better still get calls!! hehe).I just cannot figure out how Demy can justify the price for a gadget that merely holds info. even though I too justified the price of the Kindle. I find myself more and more going online for new recipies, and taking the netbook into the kitchen anyway so....maybe once the demy becomes worth it's price I may consider it, but until then....netbook is the way too go.

I have a Macbook and a Macbook Air and it "works" with both of those, except I think you perhaps aren't quite getting the concept. Key Ingredient has a website where you open a free account. There you can set up your recipe cookbooks. You can type your recipes into their predesigned templates. Or, if you find a recipe anywhere on the internet you can (most often) hit a "cookmark" that you have popped onto your computers bookmarks bar. It carries it right into the right boxes on your template at Key Ingredient and then you click save, and direct it to the category you have previously specified. If the recipe doesn't fit the template (mine usually do fit) it is a simple matter to cut and paste the recipe in yourself. You can do all that and access all your recipes and email them or print them right from there. Now for the Demy. It is a wireless appliance that syncs with Key Ingredient thru your wireless internet connection, not through your computer. The older Demy didn't have the Wifi feature so you did have to rely on your computer to update the appliance, but this one does it "magically". In settings you can tell the appliance to sync if it hasn't done so automatically. I hope that answers your question. I don't want to make it seem complicated because it isn't at all and the Key Ingredient people are very very helpful.

You can use it by itself, but it will only have the data you input. I have mine set to auto sync with Ancestry so that either will update the other. Then if I am somewhere without internet, like a small county courthouse, I can do my research, input it on my laptop, and sync it later.

Yes you can and you can edit the recipe after it is on there. I wish it was easier to add my own recipe.

yes, it is just a scanner truthfully the only reason we purchased was to help organize receipts for business. if you just need to put your recipes on computer i would just get a cheap scanner it will work the same or use a printer/scanner
