Adjusting The Amount of Servings In Your Recipes

To reduce the number of servings in a recipe can be a problem. If you desire to decrease the number of servings from a recipe, decrease measurements proportionally but hold back on increasing salt content. Keep in your mind that the timing of the cooking decreases when you decrease the number of servings. You can keep the time same by slightly reducing temperature of the burner or oven.

"The formula is: 'New Yield'(how much you want) divided by 'Old Yield' (how much the recipe is for) Equals 'conversion factor,' advises Chef Smorgas of Borg.
