  4. How much to buy? • Review entire cycle menu • Decide on recipes • Number of meals planned • Frequency of buying • Amount and type of storage • Only buy foods for the meal pattern!

  8. Tables & Figures: Use for Accuracy & Efficiency I-29

  9. Table 4: A Guide for Substituting Cans

  10. Table 5: Decimal Weight Equivalents 1 lb 3 oz =(16 oz + 3 oz) = 1.19 lb 123 oz =(112 oz + 11 oz) = 7.69 lb

  11. Table 7: Converting Decimals to Nearest Portion of a Cup for V/F

  12. Table 8: Decimal Equivalents for Fractions of a UnitExample 6-1/2 oz =0.41 lb This table works because 16 ounces = 1 pound16 Tbsp = 1 cup 16 cups = 1 gallon

  13. Tables 9, 10, and 11: Metric Conversions by Weight and Volume

  15. What Do you want to serve?The Production records says “4oz” ½ cup (4 fl. Oz) which is 1 oz by weight or 2 leaves. 2 Cups of lettuce = 4 oz by weight

  16. Table 12: A Guide to Volume Equivalents for Liquids

  17. Utensils • Utensils that measure fluid oz or volume ensure the correct sized serving. • Tools include the following: • Scoops, dishers, dippers • Ladles • Measured serving spoons

  18. Table 13: Sizes / Capacities of Scoops Scoop Size means the number of portions per quart.

  19. Table 14: Sizes and Capacities of Ladles The size of a ladle is written as oz,but it measures fl oz.

  20. Table 15: Sizes and Capacities of Measuring-Serving Spoons

  21. Yield Information • Yield is average yields from USDA research • A planning, purchasing, and production tool • Needs careful weighing and measuring!

  22. What Affects Yield? • Quality/condition of food As Purchased (AP) • Storage/handling conditions • Cooking methods • Cooking time • Portion control • Served Form: raw spinach or cooked spinach? • How are raw leafy greens credited?

  23. Column 1: Food As Purchased (AP) Food As Purchased (AP) Column 1 tells you the name of the food item and the purchase form(s) Are the apples fresh, canned, frozen, or dehydrated?

  25. Column 3: Servings per Purchase Unit (EP) Servings per Purchase Unit, EP Column 3: Number of servings in each purchase unit Ex: No. 10 can yields 50.4 - 1/4c servings of canned apple slices OR 25.2 - 1/2c servings

  26. Column 4: Serving Size per Meal Contribution Serving Size per Meal Contribution Is this the serving size planned for your menu? Adjust am’ts in columns 3 and 5 when the serving size in Column 4 is changed

  27. Column 5: Purchase Units for 100 Servings Purchase Units for 100 Servings Column 5 determines the amount of food to order based on purchase units for 100 servings.

  28. Column 6 Additional Information Column 6 provides additional information to calculate yield and how much to buy

  29. Column 1: Food As Purchased (AP) Are your apples 100 or 125-138 count? It makes a difference!
