What Cooking & Gardening tools can do for you
4 tools listed
The cooking and gardening tools gather conversions and planning aids for the kitchen and your plants. For cooking, convert tablespoons, teaspoons and cups to grams for each ingredient, scale a recipe up or down by servings, and convert oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and gas mark.
For baking, convert between cake pan sizes by area and volume and calculate baker's percentages from a flour base, including water temperature from your target dough temperature. A meal roulette helps when you cannot decide what to cook, and a tracker keeps an eye on expiry dates.
For gardening, check when to sow, plant and harvest, calculate the potting soil a planter needs in liters, and keep a care log for watering, fertilizing and repotting. Gram weights vary by brand and measuring method, so treat them as guides.
