Introduction to the Recipes Page on Prepped
The recipes page on the Prepped platform is designed to help you build menu items based on ingredients and stackable recipes. This feature is particularly beneficial for power users who need more advanced control over their culinary processes.
For example, one user described a scenario like this:
“I make Eggs Benedict on Mondays, but before that, I need to make hollandaise sauce from scratch.”
Stackable Recipes: How They Work
To minimize waste, the user creates a specific amount of hollandaise sauce, which is the ideal serving size. This process not only reduces waste but also makes production easier. Hollandaise sauce, as an independent recipe, might seem complicated, but it can be broken down into manageable steps. The user can make the sauce on another day—say Thursday—and then use it later in the Eggs Benedict recipe.
This is why recipes on Prepped are stackable: you can build one recipe, such as hollandaise sauce, and use it as part of another recipe, like Eggs Benedict. Users with advanced operations often focus on optimizing for metrics like waste reduction and cost per serving, both of which the Prepped platform helps track and improve.
Creating a Recipe in Prepped
Now, let’s dive into creating a recipe. On the recipes page, you can search for existing recipes and filter them by category. When creating a new recipe, you’ll assign it a name, category, and specify the output in grams, which is automatically calculated based on the ingredients you select.
Prepped also supports child recipes. For example, if you’re creating a sauce that requires 20 grams of an ingredient like “special dust,” you can easily include that in the recipe.
Adding Ingredients and Instructions
In addition to the special dust, let’s say you also need one potato. You can add that ingredient to the recipe as well. Once you’ve added all necessary ingredients, you can save the recipe. In this example, the “amazing sauce” is saved with its ingredients and child recipe.
Modifying Recipes and Platform Automation
An important note: when you modify a recipe, like the “amazing sauce,” those changes automatically apply to any product that uses the recipe. Prepped operates as a system of relationships between recipes, ingredients, and products. When you edit a recipe or ingredient, it updates throughout the platform.
Prepped is an automation tool that simplifies these modifications. Once you understand how the platform works, it becomes much quicker and easier to manage complex production workflows.
A Letter From Our CEO:
Welcome to the Recipes Page on the Prepped platform, designed to help you optimize your culinary processes through meal prep automation and advanced recipe management. This feature is especially beneficial for power users who need greater control over their menu items, allowing you to build recipes based on ingredients and stackable recipes.
Stackable Recipes: How They Work
Imagine this scenario: you make Eggs Benedict on Mondays, but before that, you need to prepare hollandaise sauce from scratch. By creating a specific amount of hollandaise sauce—tailored to the ideal serving size—you can minimize waste and streamline production. While hollandaise sauce might seem complicated as an independent recipe, it can be broken down into manageable steps. You can prepare the sauce on another day—say Thursday—and use it later in the Eggs Benedict recipe.
This is the power of stackable recipes on Prepped: you can create one recipe, like hollandaise sauce, and use it as an ingredient in another, such as Eggs Benedict. Users focused on ingredient optimization and reducing costs per serving will find that Prepped helps track and improve these metrics effectively.
Creating a Recipe in Prepped
Let’s explore how to create a recipe. On the Recipes Page, you can search for existing recipes and filter them by category. When creating a new recipe, you’ll assign it a name, select a category, and specify the output in grams, which is automatically calculated based on the ingredients you choose.
Prepped also supports child recipes. For instance, if your sauce requires a specific ingredient, like “special dust,” you can easily incorporate that into your recipe.
Adding Ingredients and Instructions
In addition to special dust, you might need one potato for your recipe. Simply add that ingredient to the list. Once you’ve included all necessary components, you can save the recipe. In our example, the “amazing sauce” is saved along with its ingredients and child recipe.
Modifying Recipes and Platform Automation
One key feature of Prepped is that any modifications to a recipe, such as changes to the “amazing sauce,” automatically apply to all products using that recipe. Prepped operates as a comprehensive system of relationships among recipes, ingredients, and products. When you edit a recipe or ingredient, the updates are reflected throughout the platform.
Prepped serves as an effective recipe management software that simplifies modifications and enhances workflow efficiency. Once you familiarize yourself with how the platform operates, managing complex production workflows becomes much quicker and easier.
Conclusion
The Recipes Page on Prepped empowers you to take control of your culinary operations, reduce waste, and enhance efficiency through meal prep automation. If you have any questions about using this feature or suggestions for improvements, please reach out to our support team.
