The KitchenCalc Pro is an easy-to-use recipe scaling and conversion calculator designed specifically for professional chefs, caterers and home cooks. With the push of a few buttons, it will help you cook or bake with precision. You no longer have to estimate ingredient quantities or waste time or money due to measuring errors.

Clear Recipe Memory — Clears the values entered into the # of Servings and Portion Size keys, as these values are permanent (the values remain stored after you turn your calculator off). Clear All — Clears all stored values, including M+, serving and portion sizing. Fraction Bar Key — Used to enter fractions (e.g., ). Remainder (Rnd +/-) — Displays the fractional remainder (if applicable), due to calculator rounding.
Recipe Scaling Keys Use the keys below to “scale” recipes (when you’re cooking or baking for less or more than the recipe’s stated serving size, and have to calculate adjusted ingredient quantities). Your calculator quickly converts recipe ingredients to their proper proportions, so you can cook or bake precisely and avoid measurement errors. First, find the recipe’s stated number of servings or yield, and then determine how many servings you need to make (if other than the stated serving size).
Entering Cooking Units (Whole and Fractions) Enter whole cooking units by entering: 1) the quantity and 2) pressing the appropriate cooking unit key. For example: Enter 3 tablespoons: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 3 T TBSP Enter cooking units with fractions (e.g., 1/3 cup) by pressing the fraction key. For example: Enter 2-1/3 cups: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 2-1/3 CUP You can also enter the whole unit first, then the cooking unit key, then the fraction.
Displaying Actual Fractions vs. “Kitchen Fractions” A unique feature of your calculator is that it will display 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 (i.e., 1 TBSP).
Conversions — Displaying Actual vs. Kitchen Fractions Convert 2-3/4 tablespoons to a “kitchen fraction,” then the actual decimal value, then return to the entered value: KEYSTROKE T T (Kitchen fraction) T (Actual decimal value) T (Actual fraction) DISPLAY 3 Actual Actual 2-3/4 TBSP TBSP RND^ 2.75 TBSP 2-3/4 TBSP Recipe Scaling — Actual vs.
CONVERTING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS Your calculator will also convert cooking units to and from their fractional or decimal values. To do this, enter the value, and then continue pressing the cooking unit key multiple times until you see the decimal value. Enter 1/3 cup and convert to decimal, then back to fraction: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 0-1/3 CUP 0.333 CUP 0-1/3 CUP 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.
Note: The calculator’s built-in Adjustment Factor is based on the density of water, which is often used as a standard to derive the weight of a volume specification. One cup of water weighs 236.6 grams (about 8 ounces). USDA Weight (grams) Volume 110.0 USDA Item Name Adjst.

It calculates new ingredient amounts when you change the number of servings a recipe makes (e.g.
Increasing Number of Servings You need your brownie pudding cake recipe to yield 12 Servings instead of 8. The recipe contains the following ingredients: – – – – – 1-1/4 cups flour 1-1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp. baking powder 3 tbsp. butter Convert the ingredients to 12 Servings: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 1. Clear recipe Memory: (Clr Recipe) 0. 2. Enter recipe’s number of Servings: Recipe # 3. Enter desired number of Servings: Act # 4.
*There’s a small remainder (0.042 of a teaspoon) you can view by pressing . Note: The displayed values are “kitchen fractions,” or rounded fractions. Two more presses of will display the actual fraction and decimal values, respectively. Increasing Number of Dozens A cookie recipe currently yields 3 dozen cookies, but you’d like to make 12 dozen. The recipe contains the following: – – – – – – 1-2/3 cups flour 1-1/4 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 lb.
(cont’d) Convert the ingredients: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 1. Clear recipe Memory: (Clr Recipe) 0. 2. Enter recipe’s Portion Size: Recipe Size 4. Actual Size 6. 3. Enter desired Portion Size: 4.
CHANGING BOTH SERVING & PORTION SIZE Decreasing Number of Servings and Increasing Portion Size Using the same recipe, you now want to reduce the number of servings from 6 to 4, but increase the portion size from 4 oz. to 8 oz. What are the adjusted ingredients? -1 lb. flank steak -2 tbsp. Chinese cooking wine -1 tbsp. minced garlic -2 tsp. soy sauce -3/4 cup chicken stock Convert the ingredients: KEYSTROKE DISPLAY 1. Clear recipe Memory: (Clr Recipe) 0. 2.
USING THE TIMER Your calculator functions not only as a cooking unit converter and recipe scaler, but also as a kitchen timer. In this model, there are two audible count up/count down timers. Using the Timer(s) – Press n or m access the built-in Timer or Timer mode. The timer can be set to count down from 24 hours or less. The Timer will count up to 12 hours. Count Up and Pause Timer – While displaying a stopped/paused timer, press n or m to start counting up. Press it once more to pause or freeze counting.
Note: The clock symbol will continue to blink on the display to remind you the Timer is running when in “calculator” mode. Timer Beep – After a count-down Timer is finished counting down (zero reached), it will begin to beep. Timer 1 emits a fast beep, Timer 2 a slow beep. The Timer will beep for 10 minutes. To stop the Timer beep, press the n key. Turning Calculator Off (Running Timer) – To turn the calculator off while the Timer is running, press .
To replace the battery, use a small Phillip’s head screwdriver (or you can also use a screwdriver found in eyeglass repair kits) and unscrew the two screws on the base of the unit, located on the back of the calculator. Carefully remove the lower back housing, remove the old battery from the clip and replace it with a new CR2032 battery. Make sure the positive side (+) is facing up. Replace the backplate and re-attach the screws.
