Fastest way to convert units used in the kitchen. (Only 2 taps to convert 5 tablespoons to milliliters.) No more clumsy scrolling to pick the unit you want out of hundreds of choices. Its innovative input method allows you to enter values as fractions or decimals. Fast, easy, and flexible! Weighing ingredients instead of using spoons and cups is more accurate and easier, especially for things like honey and ketchup. The app makes the conversion to grams a breeze. Easily divide or multiply the result. Encounter recipes that use Celsius rather than Fahrenheit? It makes the conversion in a snap! Always forgetting what temperature your favorite cookie recipe calls for? You can store custom temperature settings along with baking times. This is a no-nonsense, highly streamlined app designed specifically for all your measurement needs in the kitchen.
