What does it mean to standardize a recipe?

  1. Personalize it

  2. Make it fancy

  3. Change the ingredients

  4. Will produce a known quality and quantity in a facility operation

The correct answer is: Will produce a known quality and quantity in a facility operation

Standardizing a recipe means ensuring that the recipe will consistently produce a known quality and quantity in a facility operation. By standardizing a recipe, you are establishing a set of specific instructions and measurements that need to be followed each time the recipe is prepared. This consistency is essential in institutional settings to maintain quality control, cost control, and meeting nutritional requirements. Personalizing a recipe, making it fancy, or changing the ingredients deviate from the standardization process and could result in variations in the final product.
