Recipe Import is
coming!
You asked, we
listened. We're working hard on adding import features to Serving Sizer
Recipe Cards for iPad. The import will help import recipes from
websites, email, and other iPad docs without having to manually
copy/paste. The import feature will also eliminate the need to add the
ingredients separately.
We've also got many ideas for new features
from all your feedback. Please feel free to contact us (easy links from
within our apps' about pages) and let us know what you'd like to see.
Feedback from customers makes it much easier to determine and
prioritize future app updates! Thank you!

AppStore. Lots of ratings/reviews send a positive message about
our quality, which helps our sales, which allows us to better focus on
bringing you great apps and updates.
Tips
for Entering Unique Recipe Ingredients
Serving
Sizer
Recipe
Cards
for iPad and Pro for iPhone
One
of
the
unique things about our Serving Sizer apps is the ability to
resize your recipes to family or guest sizes. The app uses
SmartScalingTM
to optimize the results--factoring to the measures
you'd use in your kitchen. Serving Sizer also has a picklist
method for
"smart" ingredient entry, which makes it easier to quickly tap in the
ingredient list and lends itself to the method for scaling algorithms
(and future planned features).
However, sometimes entering certain ingredients leaves some users
scratching your heads. Plus, because of built-in
flexibility, there are some cool tricks that we'd like
to share. (Directions below are specific to iPad entry, but the tricks
also work on the Pro version on the iPhone):
Adding a dashed row
separator:
Here's how:
1) Tap "Add new ingredient".
2) Enter 0 (zero) as the amount.
3) Pick "Items". (This will keep something like "0 cups" from showing
up.)
4) Add an new ingredient name with the text/characters you want to see,
such as dashes.
5) Tap outside the popover to accept.
No amount will appear next to the ingredient text.
This also works when you want to add ingredients without an amount,
like:
"salt, to taste"
"pinch of salt"
"butter, as needed"
Adding "cans" or
"packages":
What if you want to add "two 14.5 oz. cans of green beans?" Or add "two
packages of spaghetti" or "two 1 lb. bars of chocolate?" You have a
couple of choices. If you want to resize in the future based on
the Quantity of items, enter the ingredient this way:
1) Tap "Add new ingredient".
2) Enter 2 as the amount.
3) Pick "Items". (This selector is generic for a quantity vs a
measurement.)
4) Add an new ingredient name by tapping the "+" in the popover. From
the above examples, name it "14.5 oz. cans of green beans" or "packages
of spaghetti" or "1 lb. bars of chocolate". Ingredient names can
be as long as you like.
5) Tap outside the popover to accept.
6) Resizing will alter the quantity.
Alternately to have the app resize based on the Amount, enter this way:
1) Enter the total amount, (i.e. 2 x 14.5 oz = 29 oz) "29" and the
measure "ounces" (pick Weight)
2) Choose an ingredient, "green beans".
3) Resizing will alter the amount.
Adding ingredient
specific directions:
Ingredient names are flexible, so you
can add any sized mini-directions as part of the ingredient name.
1) Tap "Add new ingredient".
2) Enter amounts.
3) Add an new ingredient name by tapping the "+" in the popover. Name
it "onions, chopped" or "heavy cream, whipped for 2 minutes" or "eggs,
separated".
4) Tap outside the popover to accept.

pages for FAQ's like the tips and tricks above. As we get
questions, we try to list them on our website for your convenience. We
also respond rather quickly, so please feel free to email us with your
