Why it's important
- Conversions in prep recipes allow you to cook large recipe batches and break them down into serving portions by weight or volume. For instance, convert 20 quarts of soup into 8 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz containers. A serving recipe is created for each serving size. The packaging components can also be included in the serving recipe, container, lid, label, etc.
- It's also great for pies, trays of baked goods, or bread where you make a whole and then slice it into serving portions by volume.
How to use it
Here is an example of a Prep recipe for a vegetable side dish that cooks down to 8 lbs and is served by the 1/2 cup.
The Yield/Portion is 8 lbs, and below that, in Conversions you'll see that we have calculated and entered 4 cups per lb. This provides reciProfity the information it needs to calculate 1/2 cup equals 2 oz or $0.377
The prep recipe conversion is: "There Are" 4 cups Per lb. With this information, reciProfity can create serving recipes using any weight (lb, oz) or volume (tsp, tbl, cup, pint, gallon).
Do you make pies, cakes, or breads that you sell by the slice? Here's how to create a Prep recipe for a whole and then use conversions to price your slices.
