DiSPLAYing ACtUAL FRACtionS

vS. “KitCHen FRACtionS”

The KitchenCalc displays both actual

fractions and “kitchen fractions” during

conversions or recipe scaling calculations.

That is, if the answer is

3/4 tBSP, it

knows there is no “3/4” of a tablespoon,

or measuring spoon, available to measure

with; instead, it will show the rounded

answer (e.g.,

1 tBSP). For more precise

measuring, you can then press the 

keys to display the remainder amount to

add or subtract, or simply convert the value

to the next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP),

to avoid the remainder altogether. If you

do not want to view “kitchen” values, you

can display actual values by pressing the

cooking unit key again.

Important Note: The calculator will tell you

when an actual value is displayed by

displaying

Act.
