I've been looking for steam tables on the internet, but all that I can find are those steam table computer programs.

So... Does anyone know a site which has the old fashioned steam tables?

And which of those steam table computer programs would be worth getting?

Yea, that's what always use. Its quite complete :smile:
 
i bought mine from waterstones for £7.50 ( part of the amazon group), so try amazon on-line.
 
Shows you how much of an engineer I am; I was thinking of restaurant equipment. :rolleyes:

It's times like this I never quite know whether you're being serious or not! :smile:


Mine were (ahem) originally from Waterstones too. Well, the (cough) original copy from which mine were (ahem) obtained was. Obviously it'd be wrong to suggest you illegally photocopy a set, we're dead against copyright infringement here at PF.

Actually, I was. I worked in a bar/restaurant for over 20 years, so the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the title of the thread was the steam table setup that we used to keep the buffet dishes hot. I realized my error as soon as the subject of software popped up. :redface:
