Kitchen Calculator

Guohgouh

This device is worth having just for the ability to easily convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

Who can remember the formulas* — and even if you do it's very difficult to perform the calculations without pencil and paper.

From the website:

    Kitchen Calculator

    For those who avoid recipes in unfamiliar units of measure (metric or Imperial), this calculator removes all the mystery of unit conversion.

    It will convert any of the units in one system to the equivalent measure in the other system.

    It will also convert oven temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

    Possibly most important is that it solves the problem of converting grams to cups (or tablespoons or fluid ounces, etc.) for 100+ common ingredients by using a simple factor, avoiding the need for a weight scale in either system of measurement.

    Simple and intuitive to use, it also functions as a standard mathematical calculator.

    The integral cover (with operating instructions printed on the inside) protects it from kitchen spills.

    Powered by light with a button-cell battery back-up, it works under any light conditions.

    Ideal for anyone who wants to use recipes from the Internet.

    5-3/4" x 3-3/4".

.................

$16.50.

Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number.

I can always reason the Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion, but faster to remember this:

"Fahrenheit equals foolish nonsense because Celsius makes temperature the best."
That is:


F=5/9 [C-32]

with the b's standing for brackets.
