The converter and timer in the Guide
Convert oven temperatures, weight and volume, and cook eggs and pasta with a timer that works out the time for you.
The Guide has two tools: the Converter and the Timer. Both work on the phone and in the browser.
Converter
- Open the Guide and choose Converter.
- Choose what you’re converting: Temperature, Weight or Volume.
- Enter a Value and pick a Unit.
- Below you’ll see the Result in the other units.
What you can convert:
- temperature — °C, °F and gas marks (Gas) from older recipes,
- weight — g, dag, kg, oz, lb,
- volume — ml, l, tsp, tbsp, cup.
Timer
- Open the Guide and choose Timer.
- Pick a type: Egg, Pasta or Custom.
- Set the details:
- Egg — Water (Boiling or Cold), Size and Yolk (from Runny to Hard),
- Pasta — Shape (e.g. spaghetti, penne, fusilli) and Bite (Al dente, Medium, Soft),
- Custom — any time in minutes and seconds.
- Tap Start. You can Pause, Resume or Reset the timer.
For pasta Przepisnik reminds you: “Check the package time — it usually wins.” For an egg started in cold water, the time counts from when the water boils.
You can also open the timer from a Guide entry that has an Open timer button.
