Tools and Hardware Reviews of Calculated Industries KitchenCalc 8305 PRO Master Chef Edition Recipe Conversion Calculator with Dual Digital Timer
Customer Review: This Is Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this handy calculator! I'm not so good with math when it comes to converting recipes. Especially those recipes with uneven fractions. This does it all, and it's easy to use. I only wish I'd had one years ago. It is true the protective cover is a tight fit, and interferes with the keypad, but who cares? Just don't use the cover. This machine is so useful I certainly don't mind being a little careful with it. If you're really that worried about protecting your calculator, put it in a clear plastic bag. In fact, the instruction booklet comes in a clear bag that works just fine.Customer Review: This handy calculator makes cooking easier!
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! This cool tool makes converting recipes, whether downsizing or cooking for a huge crew, a breeze - it does all the converting for you! The directions are pretty simple, though I keep my user's guide handy for a refresher from time to time. The protective keypad cover is a must in the kitchen, keeping it clean. I love the tilting display, the ease of use, and this cuts out the headache and pencil & paper converting to about a minute! It even has a "pinch" and "dash", ºC & ºF, metric and English measurement choices. All it takes is just a few entries and the calculator does all the hard work. It couldn't be any easier! My kids love it also! I don't use the duo timer very often, but am glad it's there.Customer Review: Very useful in the ktichen

This is super user friendly. I use it all the time. The conversions are accurate and the dual timers are also great!Customer Review: Works well but problems with the cover
Summary: 2 Stars
The KitchenCalc does conversions as promised and is very good at them. The timing functions also work.
But, the device came with a flexible plastic cover to allow it to be used in a cooking envronment. To put the cover on, you need to stretch it to the point that several keys at the edge are forced down. This keeps the calculator from working.
How can a product be sold without even minimal functionality testing? Yes - it calculates. But, no, the KitchenCalc is not splashproof. Didn't anyone try using the calculator with the flexible plastic shield on?
It's worth buying, but keep it clear of the cooking area. Rated 2 stars because the lack of a functional cover keeps it from being used in the food-preparation area.
Customer Review: a gift worth giving
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item for my sister for Christmas because she found it quite laborious converting measurements. Standard, metric, liquid, dry, it can be daunting and scaling a recipe up or down can be confusing especially if fractions are involved. She was so thrilled with the calculator I may just have to get one for myself. Something to fiddle around with during TV commercials. Someone else complained about the plastic cover fitting too tightly and forcing keys down. My answer to that person is a resounding NO. I do NOT use any electronic device in the food preparation area. I do my conversions and put them on paper to refer to while actually cooking. I can't imagine doing it in the midst of actually cooking the food. Sort of like writing the recipe while you are cooking the dish. Maybe that makes sense to me only because I am a retired chef. I highly recommend this product based solely on my sister's opinions. She also found the dual timers convenient.
