Create a Custom Batch size
Want to scale a recipe and save it that way. Need the scaled up version be the first version you see? Create a custom batch size!
Creating a custom batch is available for business and higher subscriptions.
To create a custom batch size click the edit button and then click the small graph and pencil icon just to the right of the Total Yield area.
The custom batch modal will appear. You can now set up your custom batch one of three ways. Changing any one of the three will scale the recipe to the new batch size.
You select one of the present batch multipliers 1x to 5x.
Set your total yield for the new batch size amount you need.
Change the amounts or units on the ingredients themselves.
Once you have set up your new batch size click the Save Custom Batch button.
The next step will be to name your new custom batch and click Add Batch.
Notice the checkbox to Make this the default Batch. Check this box if you would like this new batch size to be the batch you want to see every time you load this recipe. If you want to export an order list for this custom batch size, check this box as well.
Once you have added the new batch size, click Done at the top screen. You can now click on the Batch size number and select your custom batch size from the drop down menu.
