NutritionTable of Contents
Have the recipes that come with CookenPro been nutritionally analyzed?Yes, all of the recipes that come with CookenPro are original and have been nutritionally analyzed. Information can be accessed at any time for recipes that have been analyzed by clicking the 'Nutritional Wizard' icon in the 'Edit Recipe' view. Back to TopCan I analyze my own recipes? How?Yes. Find the recipe that you wish to analyze on the ‘Find a Recipe’ view. Double click the 'Recipe Name' or select the recipe row and click the ‘edit recipe’ icon on the toolbar. This brings up the ‘Edit a Recipe’ view. From 'Edit a Recipe' click the 'Nutritional Wizard' icon. Use the wizard to enter data for each ingredient. Each of the ingredients in a recipe must be connected to a corresponding ingredient in the USDA SR 14 database and the proper quantity entered for the ingredient or the analysis will not be accurate. With CookenPro 3.0, additional support is provided. Click 'Search for Equal Values' and if ingredients have been analyzed previously, the computer will fill in the values. Check the box labeled 'Check to Analyze' when you are satisfied with the choice and ready to include the ingredient. Click 'Apply Changes' when you are ready. Back to TopHow do I connect an ingredient to a corresponding ingredient in the USDA SR 14 database?With CookenPro 3.0, additional support is provided. Click 'Search for Equal Values' and if ingredients have been analyzed previously, the computer will fill in the values. Check the box labeled 'Check to Analyze' when you are satisfied with the choice and ready to include the ingredient. Click 'Apply Changes' when you are ready. The first time an ingredient has been entered, use the 'Search Tool in the 'Nutritional Wizard' to find a description and measure that corresponds to the ingredient you are addressing. When you are searching, the listings are sometimes not what you would expect. For example, ‘cream cheese’ is listed under ‘cheese, cream’. So if you don’t find something immediately, do not give up. Look for a match. Most items can be exactly matched if they do not consist of prepared food. Then you will have to depend on the manufacturer. Use the "tools" menu to copy and paste partial entries from the nutrition list into the search box to aid in searching. Select the food description and measurement and the information will be entered. Back to TopHow do I enter the quantity?With CookenPro 3.0, additional support is provided. Click 'Search for Equal Values' and if ingredients have been analyzed previously, the computer will fill in the values. Check the box labeled 'Check to Analyze' when you are satisfied with the choice and ready to include the ingredient. Click 'Apply Changes' when you are ready. The final step is the ‘Quantity of Measure’ field in the 'Nutritional Wizard'. The quantity of ingredient above is equivalent to ______ portions of the ingredient below. Use the mouse to put the cursor in this field. You have to figure out what to put in this field in order for the analysis to be accurate. In a lot of cases the quantity will be easy to figure out. If the Measurement is ‘1 Large’ and you have a large onion, enter ‘1.00’ in this field or select it from the drop-down list. Other selections will require a little thought. If your recipe ingredient is 20 oz. of frozen chopped spinach and the item your have selected from the USDA SR 14 database is ‘Spinach, frozen, chopped or leaf, unprepared’ and the Measurement is ‘1 package (10 oz)’, then ‘Quantity of Measure’ should be ‘2.00’. Back to TopDo I have to do this for every ingredient? This seems like a lot of work. Can’t CookenPro learn once an ingredient has been connected to its corresponding item in the USDA SR 14 database?With CookenPro 3.0, additional support is provided. Click 'Search for Equal Values' and if ingredients have been analyzed previously, the computer will fill in the values. It is important to review the computer entries to insure that you nutritional analysis will be accurate. Think of all of the different recipes that use chicken, for example. Fried chicken, boiled chicken, braised chicken, grilled chicken, chicken roasted in the bottom of the pan, roasted chicken raised so the fat can drain, fricasseed chicken, etc. In fact, the USDA SR 14 database contains over a 100 entries that could be connected to chicken. Unless the ‘chicken’ that you are using in your recipe is connected to the correct chicken item in the USDA SR 14 database, the analysis will not be accurate. By not accurate, we do not mean off by a few grams or calories, but potentially completely unreliable. For items such as "salt" , "olive oil", "flour", or "butter", this technique clearly saves work, but for other cases, such as the chicken example above, manual review is required. Check the box labeled 'Check to Analyze' when you are satisfied with the choice and ready to include the ingredient. Back to TopWhen all the ingredients have been accurately connected in a recipe, how do I update my database so the nutrition information is available?Select the 'Apply Changes' icon from the toolbar. All recipes that have nutrition information will be calculated. If you have updated a recipe's nutrition information, it will be re-calculated for CookenPro. Back to TopI clicked the ‘Run Nutritional Analysis’ icon but all I get is “#Err” in the information fields. What’s wrong?The number of servings in the recipe is 0 or has not been entered either in the menu plan or in the recipe. Enter the correct number of servings for the recipe. You can adjust servings to see how it affects the totals for a recipe when you run the nutritional analysis.
