Use the whole package
Scale a recipe to a package size
Recipe needs 300 g, but the pack contains 500 g? Resize the whole recipe around one or more complete packages instead of leaving an awkward remainder.
PackageFit math
If a recipe uses 300 g of an ingredient and your package is 500 g, the factor is 500 ÷ 300 = 1.667. FOOGG applies that factor to the leading quantity on each recognized ingredient line.
When this is useful
- Using an entire pack of meat, tofu, cheese or cream.
- Cooking ahead from a bulk package.
- Avoiding small perishable leftovers.
Package sizes vary by brand and market, so FOOGG asks for the actual number on your package rather than pretending there is one universal size.
