I bought this item for my sitesr for Christmas because she found it quite laborious converting measurements. Standard, metric, liquid, dry, it can be daunting and scaling a recipe up or down can be confusing especially if fractions are involved. She was so thrilled with the calculator I may just have to get one for myself. Something to fiddle around with during TV commercials. Someone else complained about the plastic cover fitting too tightly and forcing keys down. My answer to that person is a resounding NO. I do NOT use any electronic device in the food preparation area. I do my conversions and put them on paper to refer to while actually cooking. I can't imagine doing it in the midst of actually cooking the food. Sort of like writing the recipe while you are cooking the dish. Maybe that makes sense to me only because I am a retired chef. I highly recommend this product based solely on my sitesr's opinions. She also found the dual timers convenient.
