Bigoven.com is a website created in 2000 by food enthusiast Steve Murch that provides recipes and other resources related to cooking.

The homepage features links to recipes, a ‘Recent Raves’ section with recipes that have received positive reviews by site members, and a list of recent topics posted by members. The homepage also features a ‘Medals’ section with links to members who have received medals by other members for their posted recipes, recipe variations, and instructional ability; a ‘Newest Member’ list; and a ‘Recipe of the Day’ widget that visitors can post to other websites.

Recipes can be browsed by course, ingredient, occasion, season, and recent raves. Visitors can register with the site to post and discuss recipes, ingredients, and other food related topics. Registration also provides members with a personalized web page that displays member information, recipes and photos the member has posted, and recipes that have been marked as favorite.

The ‘Software’ section features information about the BigOven Software, a program that lets anyone create a recipe collection, search for meal ideas, create shopping lists based on recipes, plan meals, and calculate calories, carbohydrates, fat, and more.

The ‘Videos’ section features food related videos sorted by meal type. Members can post videos to this section in two ways: they can upload original content or they can add a Youtube video by URL. The ‘Foodie Q & A’ section lets members post and answer cooking questions. This section also displays a list of unanswered questions.

The ‘Community’ section displays links to the discussion groups, which provide information about specific cooking topics, access to the group message board, and a list of recipes related to that topic under the ‘Recipes in this Group’ section. The ‘Store’ section features links to purchasing the BigOven software, finding grocery coupons, creating a cookbook, and finding information about cooking schools. This section also features kitchen related items for sale on amazon.com.
