Question 1: Answer must include the following: • Calculating conversation factor for recipe with a yield of thirty (30) to one with a yield of ninety (90) Example: • Conversation rate = new yield/old...

Conversion factor assignment
Conversation rate = new yield/old yield
• Conversation rate=20/50
• Conversation rate=3
Exercise problems:
Question 1: 1a) You have been given the following recipe below, for a cheese puff appetiser. This recipe has a yield value of twenty (20) (that is it creates 20 portions of cheese puffs). You require a yield of fifty (50) portions. Calculate the conversion factor required to achieve this using the appropriate formula and be sure to show your calculations in the space provided. • 300g • Butter • 500mL • Milk • 5 mL • Salt • 230 g • Sifted flour • 2 • Large eggs • 460g • Grated cheese

Yield 50:
1a)
Conversation rate = new yield/old yield
• Conversation rate=20/50
• Conversation rate=0.4
Conversion factor = 20/50 = 0.40

Eggs cannot be 0.80 but approximately 80% of contents of one egg it means here.
1c) The cheese puffs were for a party that you are organising, however you have just been informed that there will be additional 10 people attending and so sixty (60) portions are now required, rather than the fifty (50) you originally planned for. You are required to adjust the recipe portion sizes from: • 150 grams with 50 portions to 120 grams with 60 portions. Ensure you demonstrate your calculations in the space below.
Required yield =portion number*portion size =60*120 = 7200
Recipe yield=portion number*portion size =50*150 = 7500
Conversation factor = required yield/recipe yield =7200/7500 = 0.96
Conversation factor=7200/7500
Conversation factor=0.96
Therefore, recipe ingredients need to be multiplied by 0.96 to determine updated weight/measurements

Question 2
a) At the time of purchase of equipment, along with warranty a user manual would be given. It is necessary to read them thoroughly and understand the parts, the conditions, etc.
For electric items, voltage requirements should be checked and matched and if necessary stabilizers should be installed.
The instructions about the usage, the conditions, and the safety measures should be thoroughly understood.
Cleaning process, such as which liquid to be used, how much to be dried etc should be followed.
b) Std safety features for a commercial mixer:
i. Dome is placed successfully in the jar – Otherwise mixie will not start
ii. Lid is correctly fixed. Some mixers do not run if lids are not locked properly
iii. Bowl...
