Copy & Paste Recipes
Never lose another internet recipe, cut & paste it directly into Recipe Box!
With just a few mouse clicks, this ingredient list can be entered into Recipe Box:
| 1 cup Quaker Oats |
| 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
| 1 tbls baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp salt (optional) |
| 1/2 tsp cinnamon |
| 1 cup milk |
| 1 egg white or whole egg, beaten |
| 3 tbls vegetable oil |

Recipe Box is great for storing and managing recipes found on the internet.
Scanning in recipes from cookbooks, newspaper clippings or magazine articles is just as easy.
Recipe Box has a built in format logic which will convert a single ingredient line into 3 "invisible" fields. With other recipe programs, you would have to type in the quantity, measurement and ingredient for each line of ingredients. This can be overwhelming for recipes with a lot of ingredients.
