Additional items for recipes are items which are needed in the recipe, but is not an actual ingredient in the recipe.
An example of an additional item in a recipe is a tray. A tray may be required for serving purposes without being an actual ingredient.
Additional item can be marked as:
- Not included in the recipe's portion weight: it is possible to choose a UOM that is not related to the recipe.
- Not affected when copying the recipe with a multiplication factor to make the portion larger. For example, 1.5 larger portion still needs just one tray.
