Are you having problems opening an ING file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your ING files.

What is an ING file?

The files that contain the .ing file extension are files that have been created by the MasterCook software application.

MasterCook is a recipe software product that provides users with more than 5,000 different recipes to choose from. MasterCook also allows users to add their own recipes to their MasterCook recipe book and enter notes into the recipes that have been provided by the software. This provides a virtual, no-mess recipe collection.

The ING files that the MasterCook software uses contain recipe ingredient files for the recipes that have been saved within the MasterCook application. Each ING file contains the ingredients for a different MasterCook recipe.
