Cookpad favourite Japanese recipe site

goo Research recently conducted a survey into recipe sites and recipe apps, and this report on japan.internet.com found a majority used such facilities.

Demographics

Between the 23rd and 26th of October 2012 1,079 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.9% of the sample were male, 16.4% in their teens, 17.9% in their twenties, 21.7% in their thirties, 16.4% in their forties, 15.7% in their fifties, and 12.0% aged sixty or older.

Just to throw in a word for my employer, Panasonic make a microwave oven with an NFC chip that allows programming it from a smartphone by selecting recipes available on Cookpad. When talking to friends overseas about this, they seemed to think it was a bit over the top as the typical model of usage in the west is for reheating, I think, but given that many homes in Japan do not have ovens, the microwave plays a bigger role over here. Furthermore, the top-end Panasonic microwave fitted with RFID allows different foods to be simultaneously cooked in the front or back and top or bottom of the oven, so getting your smartphone to do it is a distinct advantage.
