User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star defective~!
when i recieved the calc. it didnt work. the batteries werent dead either. biggest waste of $25~! i tried everything to make it work but it didnt even register zero or turn on.

4 Stars Kitchen Calc is good, but computer can do more.
THE KITCHEN CALC 8300 CALCULATOR WITH DIGITAL TIMER IS A VERY HANDY TOOL FOR ANY KITCHEN. EVERYONE NEEDS A BASIC CALCULATOR AT SOME TIME - THIS FITS THE BILL. TO HAVE A CONVERSION TOOL HANDY IS …WELL HANDY.

TO USE IT TO CONVERT A RECIPE IS TIME CONSUMING, BUT CAN BE DONE. IF YOU HAVE A RECIPE PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER, MOST WILL DO THE SAME THING MUCH FASTER AND EASIER.

OVERALL, I AM GLAD I PURCHASED 5 OF THEM. THEY MADE GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE COOKS IN MY FAMILY

2 Stars You would THINK this was great
But…the instructions are difficult to follow and for a timer it’s counter intuitive. I also had mine for 24 hours and the little plastic tabs that hold the cover on broke off leaving me with what looks like a broken calculator. No one from the company returned my emails, so I guess it goes in the drawer with the junk.

5 Stars A necessity for any kitchen
I am a pastry chef in SF. I came across this calculator while in culinary school a few years back. One of the best darn tools I use. Every kitchen should have a calculator, but why not one that will also help with conversions? Get this as a gift for anyone you know who loves to cook.

5 Stars Best tool for calculating kitchen formulas and recipes!
I publish Epicurus.com, one of the leading food and travel sites with more than 10,000 recipes. In an average week, I go through more than 200 hundred recipes developing them for our site or our clients. As a restaurant consultant, I scale recipes for clients every day. This calculator has made my life simpler and given me less angst over miscalculated formulae. The device is as simple to use as a normal calculator, but so much better.

No home cook… indeed no professional chef, should be without one of these devices. I’ve come to depend on it for accuracy, speed and efficiency.

They’re far more accurate than the recipe software I’ve used, easier to work with and far more efficient as I can take this right to the kitchen workstation with me. It fits in my pocket and works like a dream.

An absolute must if you get recipes from cookbooks. Simply wonderful.
