Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using CalcKitchen.com ("CalcKitchen," "the Site," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Site.

1. Nature of the Service

CalcKitchen provides free, web-based kitchen calculators and cooking reference tools for informational and educational purposes only. Our tools are designed to assist with common cooking and baking calculations, including but not limited to cooking times, temperature conversions, recipe scaling, serving estimates, and ingredient measurements.

2. Calculator Results Are Estimates

All calculator outputs, cooking times, temperatures, serving sizes, and other results provided by CalcKitchen are estimates and general guidelines only. They are not guarantees of specific outcomes.

Actual cooking times and results may vary based on many factors, including but not limited to:

• Individual oven and appliance calibration and performance
• Altitude and ambient temperature
• Size, shape, and starting temperature of food
• Accuracy of user-provided inputs (weight, dimensions, etc.)
• Cookware material and size
• Food composition and moisture content

We make reasonable efforts to ensure our calculators are based on accurate data and sound formulas, but we cannot account for every variable in every kitchen.

3. Food Safety Disclaimer

Always use a food thermometer to verify that meat, poultry, seafood, and other perishable foods have reached safe internal temperatures before consuming. USDA-recommended minimum internal temperatures include:

• Poultry (whole, parts, ground): 165°F (74°C)
• Ground meats (beef, pork, lamb): 160°F (71°C)
• Beef, pork, lamb, and veal (steaks, roasts, chops): 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest
• Fish and shellfish: 145°F (63°C)

Calculator-generated cooking times should always be confirmed with a thermometer reading. Do not rely solely on time-based estimates to determine whether food is safely cooked.

4. Not Professional Advice

The information provided by CalcKitchen does not constitute professional culinary, nutritional, medical, or dietary advice. Our tools are intended for general informational purposes for home cooks and bakers.

• Nutritional calculations (including macros and calories) are approximate and should not be used for medical dietary management. Consult a registered dietitian or healthcare professional for specific nutritional guidance.
• Recipe cost estimates are approximate and based on user-provided prices. They should not be used as the sole basis for commercial food pricing or business decisions.
• Serving size estimates are general guidelines and may not be appropriate for all events, dietary needs, or populations.

If you have food allergies, medical dietary restrictions, or other health concerns, consult a qualified professional before relying on any information from this Site.
