Modifying Your Recipes, More or Less

Have you found that great recipe that you tried to find for over year. And now he's dancing around the kitchen fun! This is when you realize that makes enough to feed a small army, but only need to eat two. Or perhaps, not just two, and not just going to cut his family of five. Are you sure you want to prepare this recipe for your family and / or friends. So what is a chef to do? Well, you will be pleased to know that this is a breeze of a prescription to reduce or increase a recipe. And most of the time only the ingredients must be reduced to less than half or double the ingredients for more. Reduce recipe for half ... It's a very easy recipe to reduce the recipe in half, only use half of each ingredient. If the recipe calls for 2 tablespoons, use only 1 tablespoon. It can be a bit "complicated with ingredients like eggs though. I mean, I feel a little 'hard to get half of 1 egg, at first. But here's the trick ... if the recipe calls for reduced less than 1 egg, beat one whole egg. Measure what you need with a spoon divide. You can use the egg that is left scrambled eggs, gravy, or discard (but if you're like me, hate waste food). Remember that the size of the trays also be reduced. The pots should be approximately half the area of the full recipe. The oven temperatures will not change. However, the entire cooking time will be the same or maybe a little less' if the proportions of the pan are different. Ascending Recipes double a recipe ... Turning a recipe to do just that - a double! You can use exactly twice the amount of each ingredient. And it is necessary add an extra minute win for the cakes. Remember, when doubling recipes, you just add the numbers at the beginning of the fraction. For example, 2 / 3 cup plus 2 / 3 cup equals 4 / 3 cup. If you are good with numbers, then you can convert this to 1 and 1 / 3 cup. However, if you're terrified of people like a lot of people just use a 1 / 3 cup and determination of the ingredients until you have filled its 1 / 3 cup measure 4 times and added to recipe.'ll have to use twice as many pots of the same size indicated on the original prescription or a double boiler in the area. The batter should be the same depth in the pan for the same cooking time and temperature can be used. Have Fun!
