Restaurant Operations Management: Principles and Practices© 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Ninemeier/HayesUpper Saddle River, NJ To Enlarge a Small-Quantity Recipe: The product should be prepared in the amount of the original recipe (which should be followed exactly). The resulting product should be carefully evaluated to assure that it is acceptable. The recipe’s yield should be doubled or should be expanded to the appropriate amount for the pan size to be used. The product should again be prepared, observations should be made about changes, and the final product should be evaluated. If results are satisfactory, the recipe yield can be doubled once again for further evaluation and revision. If the product is still satisfactory, the recipe can then be increased by increments of 25 portions (or complete serving pans) until approximately 100 portions are prepared. OH – 9.11
