Kitchen

Two calculators that replace most of a cookbook. Recipes give you quantities for one occasion; these give you the relationship, so you can scale to whatever is actually in the fridge. Both work by weight — which is the real argument for owning a digital scale.

Salt

Weigh the food, take the percentage. This single habit fixes flat cooking.

Strength

12g of salt

  • Fine sea salt
  • Table salt
  • Diamond Crystal kosher
  • Morton kosher

Spoon volumes differ by up to 2× between salts. Weigh once and you never guess again.

Ratios

Pick what you’re making, type any one quantity, and the rest follow.
