Display of Recipes and Prepared Foods as Ingredients
If a recipe or prepared food is used as an ingredient in a recipe, then that recipe or prepared food displays on the report after the recipe item it is part of.
System Calculation for Scaling Ingredient Amounts
When a recipe is scaled to new serving amounts (i.e., yield), the amount of each ingredient is adjusted accordingly by the system.
The calculation that is used to adjust the amount of an ingredient is as follows: New yield / original yield x ingredient original amount = new ingredient amount.
For example:
New Yield | Divided by original yield | Multiplied by ingredient original amount | Equals new ingredient amount |
---|---|---|---|
50 | 30 | 1.33 gallons | 2.22 gallons |
2 1/4 cup | 3 3/4 cup | ||
37.5 each | 62.5 each |
