Can you resize recipes?

Yes, Marilyn, you can resize recipes... it's called "scaling recipes" under the "help" section of MC 8. It can be done in several places, but most common is when you're in the "edit recipe" mode. Here's the instructions as given by MC 8: Recipe Scaling scales individual ingredients to change the total quantity produced by the recipe. MasterCook lets you input your own number of servings and your computer will adjust the ingredient amounts appropriately. This will often come in handy, but note that for a variety of reasons related to food chemistry, some recipes simply will not turn out the way the recipe author intended when you scale them. Souffls and other delicate foods are nearly impossible to scale. Some culinary experts warn against scaling complex recipes by more than a factor of two and against scaling recipes for baked goods at all. But for those recipes that can be scaled: To scale a recipe: 1. There are many areas and situations where the Scale feature is activated. The screen where you'll probably use the Scale feature most often is the Recipe Edit screen. 2. Click the Scale Recipe icon on the toolbar. 3. A box appears prompting you to enter a new number of servings. 4. Type in a new serving size and click OK. The ingredient amounts are adjusted to accommodate the new number of servings. In addition, the measurement units are also changed where appropriate. The cooking time and pan size are not adjusted. Hot Tip: Scaling affects only items in the Amount column. Be sure to check values such as pan sizes and cooking times which will need to be adjusted manually. 2004 ValuSoft, a division of THQ Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Yes, just change the inserts. There are three different sizes for slicing & two for chopping.

I have found many individual recipes online that allow you to input the LB size you want and it converts the recipe. You can also convert any recipe yourself. If a recipe is for 2-lbs....half everything.

Yes, there is a small- aprox. 4" X 6" booklet, about 60 pgs. First 24 pgs. are Instructions for Use...the rest is recipes.

My favorite sources of recipes are (free) Email/RSS feed subscriptions & Twitter for: Kalyn's Kitchen; SkinnyTaste.com; Once Upon A Chef; Food52. After that, do a Google Search for specific food items, entrees, food ingredients and look at a few of the plethora of recipes that will be presented. 'Save As. . .' these recipes into a folder in your computer 'Documents' library. I also print the recipes I like. There is a 'print' button in most recipes. OR, for practical prints with pictures-- I copy/paste the text into a Word Document taking each little section of text at a time. Some pictures will print to a reasonable size but most will take up whole pages of paper. 'Copy' or 'Save As' them to a working folder in your 'Pictures' library; use a picture editor like "Paint.net" (free download for individuals/personal use) if you do not already have a suitable editor to resize them. I find most pics can be reduced 50% or sometimes to ~30.0 KB and the final print will be easy to put on the print-out page so you can have a picture. Double-spaced text (Ingredients?) can be single-spaced, other editing done, a By-Line added so you will know later where the recipe originated. Comments that add to the recipe can be included this way with much editing to eliminate waste space and items. Then 'Print' the final version you made in Word, 3-hole punch the page(s) and store in a 3-ring binder. Most of my personally edited recipe prints take up one or two pages (printed on both sides of a sheet of paper) complete with one or two pictures and the comments that provide tips & variations. Clear package-sealing tape can be used on one side of these multiple sheets to hold them together in the binder. Punch holes after taping. The tape also reinforces the edge for the holes if needed. If you do not have Word, "Open Office" is good and it is a free download; be very careful where you download it from.

You can adjust anything you want. I use it mostly for importing recipes from the web and a filing system, including my own recipes - all in one place, easy to find!

YES... you can resize any and all pictures. I go to YouTube and search how to do things on PhotoShop Elements. In the YouTube search type "Photoshop elements 10 resize" you will find many videos to walk you through and more!

Yes. You can go to www.ziplock.com for recipes and/or examples. I've not tried this myself as I've only used it for vegetables. So, thanks for asking! I learned something new about this handy product.

no, it can't do the larger sizes. Will do the standard size and the smaller size - like the small tomato sauce.

I've not tried myself, however this is very powerful software. You can change almost any parameter in a recipe, including total batch size and it calculates the results for you.

You could use this for any of your recipes, seeing that it's misleading.... it's only got a 6 quart capacity! I just received mine, and measured it. Yep, only 6 quarts will fit in it.

I'm sorry; I don't have that information. I used it once (satisfactorily), but it is too expensive to buy again prepackaged when their are so many easy recipes for making it myself.

Yes, I have made them using another book's recipe. I make all kinds of recipes from other books in fact. I use the canner more broadly than just using the recipe book that comes with it.

Yes. You can put in the ingredients and set it on "manual," then pull out the dough, shape it, let it rise a little, put on your toppings, and bake.
