Rejecting an Unrecognized Ingredient Name

An unfamiliar ingredient name is not a sound basis for a cooking substitution. Asking for a recognized catalog name keeps a convenient search from turning similar-looking words into an unsupported equivalence.

A cook types Miracle flour as an additional ingredient with 100 g.

Try the unknown name, then use the catalog

1. Enter Miracle flour, 100 and g.
2. Check recipes and read the error.
3. Replace the name with Plain wheat flour and repeat.

Recognition is explicit

The unknown name is rejected. The exact catalog name is accepted for compatible quantity matching.

A confirmed name or alias identifies a specific ingredient for quantity matching. It does not prove that some other flour with a similar description will behave the same way in a recipe.

Use the actual package ingredient rather than a marketing nickname.
