Who runs this site

Kitchen Converts is written and edited by Scott Richey (S. Richey). Scott is an aerospace engineer and project manager by day and the operator of a small portfolio of privacy-first apps and tools by night. He has cooked seriously for two decades, weighs his flour, and has opinions about which recipe sites round their gram values.

Why this site exists

Most cooking conversion sites are built around ads first and answers second. The numbers are often wrong, the page is slow, and the popup appears before the calculator does. Kitchen Converts is the opposite: the tool comes first, the answer is on the page in plain language, and the explanation is there if you want it.

How we source numbers

Ingredient weights follow King Arthur Baking, USDA FoodData Central, and the America's Test Kitchen ingredient chart. Where those sources disagree, we go with the published standard from the source most home bakers are likely to be reading from. Each calculator page lists its sources at the bottom so you can verify any number we publish.

How we make money

Some pages display ads through Google AdSense. That keeps the site free for the home cook who lands here looking for a quick number. We do not collect your cooking data, sell email lists, or run upsells. See the privacy policy for the full picture on cookies and consent.
