Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining a scaled cooking time for operating a cooking apparatus includes acquiring a recipe having information associated with one or more food ingredients, a recipe serving size, and a recipe cooking time, and acquiring a target serving size. The method further includes determining a recipe scale factor based on the target serving size and the recipe serving size, determining a main food ingredient from the one or more food ingredients, and determining whether an amount of overlap of the main food ingredient in a receptacle of the cooking apparatus exceeds a predetermined threshold. If it is determined that the amount of overlap of the main food ingredient exceeds the predetermined threshold, then the scaled cooking time corresponding to the target serving size is determined based on the recipe scale factor and the recipe cooking time.
