Flavor Maker by McCormick

First time using the app. Well done!!! In viewing the chicken cacciatore recipe I noticed there are 49mg of cholesterol per serving. Wow that’s a lot. Would be nice to know what is the main culprit and some possible alternatives. Thanks!

I downloaded this app because I found several recipes that I wanted to try on McCormick’s website and liked the idea of saving them all in one place. The search functionality is terrible. If I type in the exact title (as listed on the website) of what I am looking for, for example “slow cooker cheesy cornbread,” that exact match doesn’t pop up first; I have to scroll through tons of recipes that have nothing to do with cornbread (including desserts) to get alphabetically to “slow.” Even searching for recipes by keyword, for example “minestrone,” doesn’t bring up minestrone hits at the top; you have to scroll through many recipes that are confusing why they come up with minestrone before you find what you are looking for. I will still try some of the recipes I found, but don’t expect to use this app as much as I had hoped.

This will be a great app if they work out a few things. I’d like to see my spice inventory and be able to add all spices not just McCormick. Many of my McCormick spices didn’t scan or aren’t recognized. Cayanne. Coriander , caraway. Even vanilla extract. What’s the point if I can’t pull it up at the store and see what I need. It just shows me what I have. Meh. I’ll wait a bit but most likely will delete. Also can’t share between devices. Got it in tablet and phone but you’d have to enter your inventory in both. No way to create an account.

I looked at Slow Cooker recipes, but they are mixed in with pan fry recipes. Next, I found an Asian Egg Beef recipe with crepes. The list of ingredients was lengthy, then it went into the preparation. I finally figured out that the ingredients were for the sauce, the crepes and the filling. But there isn’t any division to show where the sauce ingredients stop and the crepe ingredients begin, and the crepe ingredients stop and the filling ingredients begin. This was very poorly written. This is not a good app for a busy family.

Recipe search is unreliable, can’t find what you’re looking & if it’s not in their collection they don’t tell you they just bring up a bunch of their recipes most not even close to what you’re looking for! Who has that kind of time to waste?
