Ratio

Hiya, I know it’s not a huge list to look through manually but how’s about a search function? Also, it would be ideal to have some ratios in here for cooking different kinds of rice, lentils, la la la.

Solid app and information.

(iPod 5th gen) Just updated this & now all of the categories are blank. I was about to use it to make bread, but saw the update & opted to do that first. Wish I hadn't.

I used it for making muffins but the fat to flour ratio is way too high. I cut it by 1/3 and it was still far too much butter. I am in love with the idea of this app more than the reality.

Its a great app. However it could use some improvement. The calc. for mayo just doesnt work. No one needs to know how many cups of egg yolks to use, and you cant change the unit. that being my only complaint, i am happy with it.

The app crashes while trying to adjust quantities when using app on iOS 4 with a 3GS. Hope it gets fixed soon! Great tool for anyone who spends time in a kitchen.

First of all, I love making bread. The ratio method, especially using weights and metric measurements using a digital scale, has certainly helped me perfect my recipes. So, the basic philosophy appears sound. I agree too with the author that adding ingredients by weight requires less cleanup since you simply "zero" the scales and just add until the scales display the correct quantity. The calculator is about the only real value in having this app. Good for increasing any recipe. i did not like the fact that updating my version 1 to 1.0.1 wiped out my saved recipes. Hopefully that does not happen again with future versions. Also, I cannot understand why the ratio graphs use different colours for ingredients from recipe to recipe. If you are using purple for fat, then be consistent–don't use it for sugar some times and fat another. Flour was represented in yellow for all but one recipe. So, a few refinements to consider.

Ratio by Michael Ruhlman is one of the best cookbooks of all time, and now you can own the app. With a stylish and elegant interface, it breaks the ratio of mixtures in cooking down to its simplest form. Doughs, batters, custards, fat-based sauces, stocks & thickeners, meat-related ratios, and desert sauce ratios are all presented in an easy to use format for the beginning or expert cook alike. Using the basic ratios that are in cooking you can adapt them and make endless variations. Handy calculators, recipe saving, and the ability to email recipes, post to Facebook or tweet via twitter are all provided within the Ratio app. Easy to use, and totally recommended!

Great for ratios and conversion but no way to save recipes.

Great app for on the fly cooking. Read the book to get the most from the app. I weigh the eggs in a bowl as well as the liquid, like milk or cream. When using the volumne setting, I place the eggs in a measuring cup to prepare the dish. Weighing is more accurate for large portions. Volume is easier for home cooks fixing dinner. It's a handy tool to have.
