Note: If the value entered is not a “kitchen
fraction,” (e.g., 1/3 TBSP) the next press of
the cooking unit key (e.g.,
T ) will display
the rounded “kitchen value” (e.g., 0-1/2 TBSP)
and a third press will display the actual deci-
mal value (e.g., 0.333 TBSP).
RECIPE SCALING
One of the most useful features of the
KitchenCalc is its ability to adjust
recipes. It calculates new ingredient
amounts when you change the num-
ber of servings a recipe makes (e.g.,
when you want it to serve ten people
instead of only four). This allows you
to cook or bake with precision by
measuring the correct ingredient
quantities. The
KitchenCalc also lets
you adjust ingredients when you
change a recipe’s portion size (e.g., if
you want to serve 4 oz. portions for
each person, instead of 6 oz.). See
the following examples.
Basic Example
You’d like to make 5 servings of instant
brown rice, but the box only lists a measur-
ing chart for 4 servings (2 cups of rice and
1-3/4 Cups of water). How much rice and
water do you need for five servings?
