14 — KitchenCalc Pro
RECIPE SCALING EXAMPLES
One of the most useful features of the
KitchenCalc Pro
is its ability to
adjust or automatically scale recipes. It calculates new ingredient
amounts when you change the number of servings a recipe makes
(e.g., when you want it to serve 10 people instead of only 4). This
allows you to cook or bake with precision by measuring the correct
ingredient quantities.
The
KitchenCalc
Pro
also lets you adjust ingredients when you
change a recipe’s portion size (e.g., if you want to serve 4 oz. por-
tions for each person, instead of 6 oz.).
See the following examples.
CHANGING THE NUMBER OF SERVINGS
Basic Example
You’d like to make 5 servings of instant brown rice, but the box only
lists a measuring chart for 4 servings (add 2 cups of rice and 1-3/4
cups of water). How much rice and water do you need for five serv-
ings?
