Oct. 25, 2012 - PRLog -- The Kitchen Calc, a recipe calculator developed by Calculated Industries, is now available as an iPhone app. With the Kitchen Calc cooks can quickly and accurately increase or decrease recipe ingredients to the desired servings and portions for any number of guests, eliminating "guesstimating" ingredient quantities. It is currently being sold at an introductory price of $1.99 (50% off) at the Apple iTunes Store (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/construction-master-pro/id370406446?mt=8).

This easy-to-use culinary tool converts all common food preparation measurements: liquid, dry weight and volume in decimals, fractions and metric. It even has two built-in timers.

With the Kitchen Calc, you can:

         • Easily calculate increase or decrease in size of recipes and portions.

         •Simplify recipe costing.

         •Scale for number of servings, portions, or both.

         •Convert all cooking volume units: teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons,  milliliters, centiliters, liters, even dash and pinch.

         •Convert units of weight: dry ounces, pounds, grams and kilograms.

         •Convert between Centigrade and Fahrenheit temperatures.

         •Work directly in kitchen fractions, e.g., 1/2 cup, 1/3 pound and do quick and easy kitchen math like 1-1/4 teaspoons times 7 or 3-1/3 cups minus 11-1/2 ounces.

The Kitchen Calc is an ideal tool for any cook, whether you’re preparing for two or 200.
