Importing from BigOven, step by step

You'll need: recipe links (or an old .bxr/.csv file)

1. 1

   Get your recipes out of BigOven

   BigOven doesn't offer a 'download all my recipes' button, so we bring them over by their links.

2. 2

   On bigoven.com, open your recipe box, right-click each recipe and choose Copy link (or open it and copy the address bar).

3. 3

   Paste the links, one per line, into Import → Paste URLs.

4. 4

   Open Import → Paste URLs

   Tap Import in the top menu and choose Paste URLs.

5. 5

   Paste your links

   Paste one recipe web address per line, up to 500 at a time. We fetch each page, read its recipe and save the photo so it never goes missing.

6. 6

   Check the preview and save

   Untick anything that isn't a recipe, choose a new or existing cookbook and tap Save. Pages behind a login or paywall can't be read, so screenshot those instead.
