• Clean up and pass inspection in the 30 minute time frame.

• Ready…..Set………….

Reflection: Crunchy Munchy Goop

• 1. What was most difficult about these labs?

• 2. What steps did you take to figure out how much to measure of specific ingredients?

• 3. How was your teamwork affected by not having a recipe to follow? Or having a recipe but not specific measurements to rely on?

• 4. What did you learn about why it is important to follow recipes and have correct measurements?

• 5. How was the overall taste, texture, appearance of your product?

Converting Recipes

• Determine original yield 12 cookies

• Determine desired yield 24 cookies

Desired yield (24)Original yield (12) = 2/1 (Conversion Factor)

Converting Recipes

• Determine original yield 10 slices of garlic bread Determine desired yield 8 slices of garlic bread

Desired yield (8)Original yield (10) = 4/5 (Conversion Factor)

Practice Conversion Factor

• In your kitchen groups, practice finding the following conversion factors for the following:

Original Recipe = 24 servings

Desired Yield: 48 servings

Desired Yield: 168 servings

What is the conversion factor for both 48 and 168 servings?

Conversion Factor in Recipes

• Problem: The following recipe makes 18 servings, but you only need 9 servings. How much do I need of each ingredient?

• Step 1: Conversion Factor Desired Original = 9/18 = ½

• Step 2: Use Recipe

• 1 c. flour in recipe (How much flour do I need now?)• 1 c. flour X ½ (conversion factor) = ½ c. flour

Conversion Factor in Recipes

• Problem: The following recipe makes 48 servings, but you need 240. How much do I need of each ingredient?

• Step 1: Conversion Factor Desired Original = 240/48 = 5/1

• Step 2: Use Recipe

• 1 c. flour in recipe (How much flour do I need now?)• 1 c. flour X 5/1 (conversion factor) = 5 c. flour

Conversion Practice

• Independently, work on the conversion practice homework.
