What is so special about weight to volume conversions?
When converting from weight to volume it is important to take into account the ingredient you are converting. As you know, a cup of sugar does not weigh the same as a cup of rice. Furthermore, a particular brand of sugar may weigh different from another. This is all made easy with Kitchen Calculator.
So, how does Kitchen Calculator handle weight to volume conversions?
| 1. | It comes with a database of common ingredients based on weight figures from the USDA (US Department of Agriculture). |
| 2. | It allows you to quickly enter and save your own ingredient weight for more precise conversions. You can enter the values right off the product label, using fractions! |
| 3. | Kitchen Calculator will remember any saved ingredient information for future conversions. |
