How to Use a Recipe Read all directions thoroughly before beginning. Gather all needed equipment and ingredients. Preheat and/or complete other pre-preparation steps. Follow directions step by step.

Common Abbreviations Abbreviation Meaning tsp. or t. teaspoon Tbsp. or T. tablespoon c. or C. cup pt. pint qt. quart oz. ounce lb. or # pound °F Fahrenheit Hr hour min. minute Here are some common abbreviations that you will find in most recipes.

Measuring for Recipes: Dry Ingredients Spoon ingredient into measuring cup until it is overfilled. (When measuring brown sugar, pack it into the measuring cup with the back of the spoon.) Use a straight-edge spatula to level off any excess.

Measuring for Recipes: Liquid Ingredients Set a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface. Bend down so the desired measurement marking is at eye level. Slowly pour the ingredient into the measuring cup until it reaches the mark for the desired amount.

Measuring for Recipes: Fats Use a rubber spatula to press fats into a dry measuring cup, making sure to eliminate any air pockets. Overfill the measuring cup. Level it with a straight-edged spatula.

Equivalents Cups Fluid Oz. Tbsp. Tsp. 1 cup 8 oz. 16 Tbsp 48 tsp ¾ cup 1 pint 2 cups 4 cups 1 quart 4 quarts 1 gallon

Adjusting Recipes When changing the yield of a recipe, use the measuring equivalents to figure the adjusted amounts of each ingredient before you begin cooking. Write the adjusted amounts on your recipe so you will remember them as you work. To adjust recipes you want to use the following formula: Want/yield = multiplying factor Take the multiplying factor and multiply it by each ingredient amount.

Recipe Adjusting Example Lasagna from slide 3 It yields 6 and I need it to feed 18 18/6=3 (multiplying factor) Take 3 and multiply by each ingredient 1 jar of Prego (3)=3 jars of Prego 6 lasagna noodles (3) = 18 lasagna noodles 2 cups shredded mozzarella (3) = 6 cups of mozzarella ¼ cup of grated Parmesan (3) = ¾ cup of grated Parmesan

Recipe Writing Activity Write down your favorite recipe including everything you think is needed to prepare, how to prepare and how long it takes. Next, find the real recipe either online or in a cookbook and compare the real recipe to your recipe. What was the difference? What were you missing? Why is it important to have an accurate recipe when preparing food?
