Frequently Asked Questions

Is this website really free?
Yes, 100% free. We support the site with advertising. No paywalls, no "pro" subscriptions, no sign-ups required. Just free calculators for home cooks.
Do you save my recipes or meal plans?
No. Everything runs in your browser. We don't store, save, or even see the recipes and meal plans you create. Your data stays on your device.
Are the calculations accurate?
Our calculators use standard culinary ratios and USDA guidelines. They provide reliable estimates, but always use your own judgment and a food thermometer when cooking. Baking, in particular, can be sensitive to scaling — test large batch changes cautiously.
Do you support units used outside the US?
Most of our calculators support both US customary units (cups, pounds, Fahrenheit) and metric units (grams, milliliters, Celsius). We default to US units because our audience is primarily American home cooks.
