  5. PARTS OF A RECIPE • Product Name • Yield • Portion Size • Ingredient Quantity • Preparation Procedures • Cooking Temperatures • Cooking Time

  6. Formula or Recipe • A formula is a special type of recipe that is used in a bakeshop. • Baking is different from cooking in many different ways • Baking involves chemical reactions • There are three major differences between formulas and recipes

  7. Ingredient List Order • Both recipes and formulas contain an ingredient list. • The list includes all ingredients that will be used in the dish. • IN RECIPES • ingredients are listed in the order that will be used. • this list is then followed by the procedures that will be used. • IN FORMULAS • Ingredients are listed in order by decreasing weight • Almost always listed as percentages

  8. Baker’s Percentage • Precise weight measurements are used in formulas to prepare food • It includes the percentage of each ingredient in relation to the weight of flour in the baked final product. • Baker’s percentages make it easy to increase or decrease the quantity of ingredients.

  9. Preparation Instructions • Baking formulas may not always include the instructions that are needed to prepare the baked product. • Recipes almost always include preparation instructions.

  10. Quality Control • Is a system that ensures everything will meet the foodservice establishment’s standards. • Recipes are tested many times to make sure they work the same way every time before they are used for customers.

  11. Benefits to using a standard recipe • The quality of the food will be consistent each time the recipe is made. • The quantity of the food will be consistent each time the recipe is made. • You can control the portion size and the cost of the recipe.

  12. Benefits to using a standard recipe • Movement in the kitchen by foodservice workers will be more efficient because of clear, exact instructions. • You will have fewer errors in food orders. • You will eliminate waste by not overproducing food. • You will meet customers’ expectations of quality each time the food is prepared.

  14. RECIPE CONVERSIONS

  15. Recipe conversions • When you change a recipe to produce a new amount or yield you are converting a recipe. • There is a specific way to convert recipes… you must find the conversion factor

  16. Conversion Factors • The conversion factor is the number that comes from dividing the yield you want by the existing in a recipe Conversion Factor Desired yield Existing Yield

  17. Conversion Factor • For example if the existing recipe yield is 40 portions, but the yield you need is 80 portions, the formula will look like this. 2 Conversion Factor 80 Desired yield (existing yield) 40

  18. Conversion Factor • If you decrease a recipe the conversion factor will be less than one. • If you increase a recipe the conversion factor will be more than one

  19. Conversion Method • Say you have a recipe for teriyaki chicken that has a yield of 10 portions. The recipe calls for 3 pounds of chicken and 20 fluid ounces of teriyaki sauce. • You need more for tonight, you need to convert the recipe to yield 15 portions.

  20. Conversion Method • STEPS: • 1. Determine the conversion factor: • 15 (desired yield) divided by 10 (existing yield) = 1.5 (conversion factor) • 2. Multiply the existing quantity by the conversion factor to find the new quantity. • Existing quantity 3.0 (lbs. of chicken) • x Conversion factor x 1.5 (conversion factor) • Desired quantity 4.5 (pounds of chicken)

  21. Conversion Method • 20.0 (fluid OZ. of teriyaki sauce) • 1.5 (conversion factor) • 30.0 (fluid ounces of teriyaki sauce)

  23. PORTION SIZE CONVERSION

  24. Portion Size Conversion • A foodservice establishment may need to increase or decrease the portion size of a recipe. Maybe the customers are complaining that the portion size of a dish is too small for the cost, or perhaps the portion is so large that it results in little or no profit left over for the establishment. • There are 5 steps to complete this

  25. Portion Size ConversionStep 1 • To find the total existing yield, multiply the number of existing portions by the existing size of each portion. • Existing portions • x existing portion size • Total existing yield

  26. Portion Size ConversionStep 2 • To find the new yield, multiply the desired portions by the desired portion size. • Desired portions 15 Desired portions • x desired portion size x 8 (oz. )desired portion size • New Yield 120 ounces new yield

  27. Portion Size ConversionStep 3 • Divide the new yield by the existing yield to get the conversion factor. 2.4 Conversion Factor Existing Yield 50 120.00 New Yield

  28. Portion Size ConversionStep 4 • Multiply each ingredient by the conversion factor to get the new ingredient yield 20.O fluid oz 3.0 lbs. of chicken Existing yield x 2.4 conversion factor x conversion factor x 2.4 conversion factor New yield 7.20 pounds 48.9 Fluid Ounces

  30. Factors that can impact conversion

  31. Equipment • Recipes normally specify the size of equipment and size and type of cookware that you will need to use to prepare the food • If you increase or decrease the yield you may need to change the size of the kitchen equipment • If you use the wrong size equipment, it can affect the outcome of a recipe.

  32. Mixing and Cooking Time • In general the cooking time and mixing time does not increase when a recipe is converted • There are a few exceptions to this… lets discuss them.

  33. Cooking Temperatures • If convection ovens are used, the cooking time will have to be adjusted.

  34. Shrinkage • Is the percentage of food that is lost during storage and preparation • It is often caused by moisture loss • The amount of shrinkage affects not only the cost of the ingredient, but also the portion sizes that are served to customers.

  35. Recipe Errors • Very often, recipe errors are so minor that they do not affect the results of the dishes. • Even minor errors can become major problems if the recipe is increased or decreased. • To avoid this type problem, recipes that have been increased or decreased need to be tested before being made for customers.
