The famous Cooks Convertor is the most important kitchen convertor and timer App that any cooking enthusiast needs!  

The Cooks Convertor is designed and tested for real-life by real cooks. It is one of the easiest, fastest, and most powerful cooking conversion utility available for iOS. It does just what it says, does it simply, and does it well. We concentrate on features that cooks really need; no bloatware.

Cooks Convertor works on iPhones and iPad screens of any size, giving two side-by-side convertors or kitchen timers of your choice on the iPad. It will also work with Apples slide-over feature so you can display webpages or your favourite recipes side-by-side with the convertor for extra convenience.

All our users mean a lot to us and we value your privacy. Cooks Convertor does not use advertising and does not collect any of your data and does not track you, so if you find this app useful please consider supporting us and upgrading to the Plus version.

1) Converts common volume, weight and temperature measures used in cooking and can handle different U.S. Imperial, U.K. Imperial and Metric measures so you can convert those intercontinental recipes!
2) Volume measurements include Cups, Tablespoons, Teaspoons, Fluid Ounces, Litres, Millilitres, Pints, Quarts, Gallons.
3) Weight measurements include Ounces, Pounds, Grams and Kilograms.
4) Temperature measurements include Fahrenheit, Celsius and Gasmark for those old recipes!
5) Volume-to-Weight feature giving independently verified conversions for over 120 common ingredients so you can directly weigh your ingredients.
6) Flexibly shows three separate conversion results (for example; Fluid Ounces, Cups and Pints) at the same time.
7) Kitchen timers with 3 simultaneous timers to coordinate your cooking endeavours! The timers keep counting when they reach zero so you can see how much extra time something has been cooking for - Invaluable! (Timers require iOS 10 because Apples notification feature requires iOS 10)
8) Easy and very fast to use with just a couple of touches to select conversions and measures.
9) Bright, clear, high-contrast layout that is easy to read, with everything in one place.
10) Includes length for good measure....pun not intended..;)
11) Ability to use common fractional quantities; 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4, 1/3 and 2/3.
12) Standing times for common roasted meats.
13) Awesome dual layout for iPads which gives you two complete convertors side-by-side for even more conversion flexibility
14) Useful multi-app support so Cooks Convertor can share the screen side-by-side with your other favourite cooking apps.

The Cooks Convertor can also be upgraded with a single in-app purchase to unlock extra amazing features like:
1) U.K. to U.S. Volume conversions - for those annoying intercontinental recipes where volumes such as cups are different on each side of the Atlantic.
2) Substitutions list giving over 50 ways of substituting common missing ingredients in recipes whilst giving similar consistency and taste to your recipe.
3) Calculator-style keyboard which allows simple computations including combining quantities of different units
