Helpful Hints
Determining Portions in a Recipe
To determine portion size of your recipe if it doesn't indicate it, put your final product in
an oblong or square baking dish, then when you take it out of the oven you can cut it
into equal size servings. If the recipe says it makes 8 servings, cut it into 8 pieces
before serving, if it says 6 servings cut it into 6 servings and so on. This is a very quick
and easy way to manage portion sizes.
Also, if a recipe is for a soup then most all recipe portions is for 1 cup.
