  1. Recipe 911 Emergency Substitutions

  2. Recipes contain non-essential and essential ingredients. • Non-essential ingredients are those that can be changed without changing the general appearance or texture, i.e. • M&M’s in place of peanuts in cookies • Black beans in place of pinto beans in chili

  3. Essential ingredients are those that have a specific function in a recipe. • Ingredients are mostly found in baked goods • Work like a chemical formula • Include flour, salt, sugar, fat, & leavening agents. • If changes are made to these, it will affect appearance, taste, or texture.

  4. So, what happens if you forgot (shame, shame) to check your pantry to make sure you had needed ingredients before you started to cook and you are in the middle of the process and discover you don’t have something you need. What would you do?

  5. Changing Ingredients • Recipe ingredients are often changed for reasons other than increasing or decreasing the yield. Reasons for changing ingredients are to: • Adjust for high-altitude cooking • Adjust for microwave cooking • Substitute ingredients 2.04C Adjusting Recipes 5

  6. Changing Ingredients, contd. • Adjusting for high-altitude cooking: • As altitude increases, air pressure decreases and liquids will boil at a temperature below 212 ˚F. • When liquid boils below 212 ˚F., foods simmering in the liquid take longer to cook. They require more liquid (to replace that which evaporates) and longer cooking times. 2.04C Adjusting Recipes 6

  7. Adjusting for high-altitude cooking: • In baked goods, gas bubbles formed by the boiling liquid rise more quickly and cause the batter to rise before it “sets.” Without making adjustments to ingredients, the centers would collapse. • To prevent the centers of baked goods from collapsing, use less baking powder and sugar, and increase the oven temperature. 2.04C Adjusting Recipes

  8. Changing Ingredients, contd. Adjusting for microwave cooking: • Decrease the liquid by 1/3 the total amount • Eliminate fats (both solid and liquid) unless they are used for flavoring • Use ½ of the seasonings • Use HIGH power level unless food is “delicate,” then use MEDIUM-HIGH power level • Decrease cooking time – look for a similar recipe in a cookbook designed for the microwave • Allow for standing time. 2.04C Adjusting Recipes 8
