Estimate an ingredient when a kitchen scale is not at hand. Bilancia calculates the inner volume of a regularly shaped container and applies its average density to provide an approximate quantity in grams or milliliters. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose sugar, flour, liquid, or enter a custom density. 2. Select a cylindrical, square, or rectangular container. 3. Match the outer width directly on the iPhone screen, or enter the dimensions manually. 4. Mark the fill level. 5. Read the estimated amount and its uncertainty range. MADE FOR EVERYDAY COOKING • Guided, easy-to-follow measurement flow • On-screen and manual dimension entry • Wall and bottom thickness adjustment • Personal screen calibration using a standard bank card • Custom ingredient densities • Grams-to-ounces converter • Shareable results • Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support PRIVATE BY DESIGN Bilancia works entirely offline. It has no accounts, advertising, analytics, or data collection. Your personal screen calibration stays on your device. IMPORTANT Bilancia does not weigh objects and does not turn the iPhone into a physical scale. Every result is an empirical approximation based on container geometry and average density. Verify important quantities with a real kitchen scale, especially for recipes that require precision.

L’antica pizzeria Frontoni nasce nel 1921 come “vapoforno”, in uno dei quartieri più popolari di Roma, Trastevere. Dal 1992, l’attività ha sede a Monteverde, il quartiere di provenienza della famiglia Frontoni. Attualmente, ad occuparsi della gestione di Frontoni dal 1921 a Roma sono Claudio, Nadia e i loro figli, aiutati da uno staff competente e professionale. La storia della Pizzeria Frontoni è fatta di sapori e profumi che va avanti da quattro generazioni. Generazioni di romani che, negli anni, hanno modificato il loro modo di vivere, lavorare e mangiare. Fondato nel 1921, il 'vapoforno' Frontoni sfornava il pane per una Trastevere popolare che, nell’immediato dopoguerra, aveva bisogno di pane, pasta e altri generi di prima necessità. L’incontro tra il forno e la salumeria ha portato, di lì a pochi anni, alla nascita di un prodotto tutto romano: la pizza bianca ripiena ('la romana'). Lo studente, l’operaio o il professionista che, attratto dall'invitante profumo che si diffondeva su viale Trastevere, non potevano far altro che cedere alla tentazione di quell'offerta prelibata. Oggi, dopo quasi cento anni, quei sapori continuano a vivere e a rinnovarsi giorno dopo giorno grazie al lavoro della quarta generazione di Frontoni che si impegna ogni giorno per servirvi ancora con la stessa immutata passione. Ordina da noi per ricevere le nostre specialità a domicilio oppure vieni a trovarci: ti accompagneremo nelle tappe di un lungo viaggio sensoriale, scandito dai sapori autentici che riconoscerai come quelli di casa.
