Adding a Newly Found Amount to a Search

A small amount found in another container can be the difference between a shortage and enough for breakfast. A temporary row adds that extra amount to saved stock for this search; it does not replace what was already recorded.

Inventory contains 60 mL milk. A cook finds 20 mL more and wants to check an 80 mL pancake requirement.

The two amounts meet the requirement

The milk requirement is fully covered at 80 mL for this search.

Add only the newly found amount

1. Record the 60 mL inventory batch and other pancake ingredients.
2. In What Can I Cook?, enter Milk, 20 and ml as the additional amount.
3. Check the pancake result.

Sixty saved milliliters and twenty temporary milliliters cover the eighty-milliliter need. Entering eighty again as the extra amount would count food twice, so use only the amount not already in inventory.

Save the extra amount as a real batch if other tools should use it later.
