cookCal - a kitchen calculator
cookCal is a very simple to use calculator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The calculator is designed to help with those tricky kitchen calculations where you have to work out the cooking time for food based on weight.
With cookCal you can work out how long food should be cooked when you have been given the weight (pounds (lb) and ounces (oz), or kilos (kg)) and the time per unit of weight.
Some example calculations:
- You need to cook some food that weighs 4 pounds (lb), 3 ounces (oz) for 20 minutes per pound, with a 20 minuted standing time.
- The food needs to be cooked at 45 minutes per kilo, and it weighs 3.765 kg, with a standing time of 15 minutes.
- You know that you need to cook something at 25 minutes per pound, and yet the weight is in kilograms.
The calculator can also be used to work out what time the food will be ready, or what time to start cooking to have the food ready for fixed time.
