A printed, laminated recipe conversion card (credit-card sized, wallet-friendly) that uses a simple dial mechanism to convert any recipe from convection to conventional (or vice versa) by rotating to match the original temp, then reading off the adjusted temp and time. Sold as a pack of 3-5 cards per household, with a companion QR code linking to video tutorials for common dishes (chicken, baked goods, roasted vegetables).

Original Problem

Home cooks unable to reliably convert convection oven recipes to conventional ovens

Home cooks frequently encounter recipes written for convection ovens but only have conventional ovens (or vice versa), leading to failed dishes, wasted ingredients, and ruined meals. Current conversion rules are inconsistent, poorly explained, and often produce unreliable results. People search desperately for accurate conversion guidance because getting it wrong means throwing away food and time.
