Tools and Hardware Reviews of Calculated Industries KitchenCalc 8300 Recipe Calculator with Digital TimerCustomer Review: Fills a Much Needed Niche Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is in culinary school and spends HOURS converting recipes. We searched and searched for an online calculator and never found a perfect "fit". Months later, thankfully she is still in school, I bought a book that she needed through Amazon and lo and behold, at the bottom of the screen where it says "What other customers purchased" was my answered prayer! We didn't even know such a thing existed. This calculator is easy to use and ACCURATE. It is sooo easy now to convert recipes. Seriously, all you do is type in the original number of servings and the new number of servings and with just a few entries, wa-lah....your newly adjusted recipe. I bought this as an early Christmas present (along with tons of other culinary related things) and this is her favorite!! It has cut her homework time by at least 70%. No joke. If you are serious about cooking, you need this. Especially if find yourself having to adjust serving sizes.
