Standardized Recipes In industry, restaurants use standardized
recipes to consistently prepare a known quantity and quality of a certain food.
Standardized recipes are based on the type of equipment used by a food service establishment.
Can you name a restaurant and one or two menu items that they are known for. Think of one that would need to use a recipe; not something like a burger.

Standardized Recipe Measurements Weight – tells us how heavy something is.
We measure flour, sugar and meats and cheeses using weight measurements. i.e.: ounces and pounds
Volume – refers to amount of space a substance occupies. Most often used to measure liquids. i.e.: cups, quarts, gallons and fluid ounces.
Count – The number of individual items used in a recipe to indicate the size of each item. i.e.: eggs A Cobb salad may call for 1 small tomato quartered or 5
olives sliced. These are counts.
Fascinating Fact: Shrimp is often sold by the pound (weight), with the size of the shrimp determining the count. The smaller the count per pound, the larger the individual shrimp size.
