Abstract:
A hollow lightweight housing is provided, adapted for ready location on a horizontal surface such as a counter top adjacent a stove or oven. A set of food information bearing cards are carried by a rotatable assembly mounted within the housing, enabling selective presentation of any one of the cards to the ready view of the user. Mounted on a generally horizontal wall of the housing is the pushbutton portion of a digital calculator, the display of which is closely located to the cards when located for viewing so that information taken from the cards may be quickly and easily inserted in the calculator with readout being also readily available for comparison to the information on the cards. Also mounted on the same horizontal housing wall, immediately adjacent the calculator pushbuttons, are timing control switches permitting control of the calculator display as both an output display and a digital time readout. Still further, when in the time mode, the switches may be set for a stop-start or elapsed time indication, and an alarm in the form of a buzzer is provided for indicating the end of a predetermined elapsed time.
