Increasing and decreasing recipes
Increasing recipes
• To increase a recipe from 4 to 6
servings, increase each ingredient listed
by half. To double the quantity, simply
double every ingredient listed.
• Do not forget that large quantities will
require a larger dish. Make sure that it is
deep enough to prevent the recipe from
boiling over during cooking.
• Cover as directed in the recipe. Stir or
rearrange foods as recommended.
• Increase the stand times by 5 mins. per
lb.
• Always check the recipe during cooking.
• When increasing the ingredients to 6
servings, add an extra one third of the
original cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 4 servings will
become 40 mins. on MEDIUM power for
6 servings.
• When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add
on half the original cooking time, ie. 30
mins. on medium power for 4 servings
will become 45 mins. on medium power
for 8 servings.
Decreasing recipes
• To decrease a recipe from 4 servings to
2 servings, halve the ingredients listed.
• Choose a dish that is proportionally
smaller than the one recommended in
the recipe, however make sure it is deep
enough to stop food boiling over.
• Allow half to two-thirds of the original
cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on medium
power for 4 servings will become 15-20
mins. on MEDIUM power for 2 servings.
