Recording Two Real Cooking Uses

The same amount used twice is not always a duplicate click. Breakfast and a later sauce can each take a real portion from one yogurt tub, and the record needs to represent both uses.

A batch contains 600 g yogurt. Breakfast uses 100 g and a later sauce uses another 100 g.

Record the two separate meals

1. Record the first 100 g as Used in cooking.
2. After it completes, enter the second actual 100 g use and submit.
3. Review the remaining batch and waste tracker.

Two uses reduce the tub twice

The batch contains 400 g and neither use appears as waste.

Each confirmed cooking use is a separate event. Neither belongs in the waste tracker, and the remaining amount reflects both real withdrawals rather than merging them because their quantities match.

Record each use once after weighing the actual amount.
