Get The Kitchen Formula Calculator v4 Update


An older version of The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3, was posted on this blog some time ago. Since then I've updated the tool to be easier to use, and added a couple features. 

The Kitchen Formula Calculator has been created using Apple Numbers. The Apple Numbers version is the most complete, and coherent file that includes a tab with a Quick Start guide, and a fairly comprehensive article about the calculator. To get the Apple Numbers file:

For Excel and Google Sheets, the links are listed below. 

For both of these file formats my written notes that appear on several tabs do not display properly after converting from Apple Numbers, but there is a way to make it display. Simply double tap on the notes and the "drawing" window displays so that these can be edited. The full text of the notes displays in the drawing window.

Volume to Weight Conversions with Conversion Tables If you desire to stop having to do ingredient  conversions from volume to weight, then read any of my posts about The Kitchen  Formula Calculator    I  developed, and learn to use it to write your own recipes, or to record the ones you already use . It's not hard. You will need to do the volume  conversions one last time, then never again. Much of the volume to weight conversion data in the chart below has been compiled from my own measure. Many of the conversions in this table come from the King Arthur website, a lot more from an on-line calculator ( https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/food-volume-to-weight ) that uses data from the USDA National Nutritional Database, which is, in turn, based upon ingredient density assumptions. I’ve used various such tools over the years, this one seems to be reasonably accurate. The King Arthur Flour website is generally reliable too. “Generally reliable” is as good a...

The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3

The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3 is a formula writing tool I developed in 2020. It’s specifically designed for recipes that cooks, not bakers, make. In other words, everything, but bread. It provides an efficient format for composing recipes, is easy to read, and using it quickly becomes second nature after a few entries. The Kitchen Formula Calculator is a record keeping device, a recipe development tool, and an analytical tool. To be able to compare various similar formulae is something all cooks do. For this, it’s exceptional.   If you’re a culinary instructor, using The Kitchen Formula Calculator teaches the metric system, the virtues of singular units of measure, describes a very useful recipe formatting style that can serve students their entire careers, and could be a central part of a course that teaches proper recipe writing skills. If this is not part of the syllabus, it ought to be. If you write commercial articles, or make professional seminar presentations, it will h...

Notes On Eggs, And An Egg Test In Thailand The Composition Of An Egg Eggs contain dozens of different proteins, various essential fats, and a wealth of B vitamins, minerals, and vital nutrients such as Selenium and Choline. They are relatively low calorie foods that pack a lot of nutritional benefits . Proteins are long-chain Amino acids. Some of these proteins occur mainly in yolks, others only in egg whites (aka albumen), some in both.  Egg white makes up about 2/3 of the total weight of a fresh egg, but depending on breed of chicken that laid the egg, this varies. Some references claim the albumen can be as little as 60%, the yolk as much as 40% of the total, but in my experience that is not typical. [see the results of my real world egg testing below.   Egg white, aka albumen, contains about 10-12% protein, 88-90% water. It is a little less than 60% of the total protein content of an egg, and consists of 4 alternating layers of thick/thin albumen. The albumen contai...
