How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the amount of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs you have in grams.
- Set the machine efficiency percentage (typically between 70-95%).
- Specify the production rate in cookies per minute.
- Click the "Calculate" button to see your cookies per second, estimated output per hour, and per day.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses the following formula:
Cookies per second = (Available ingredients factor × Machine efficiency factor × Production rate factor) / 60
Where:
- Available ingredients factor represents how many cookies can be made with the available ingredients. Each ingredient contributes to this factor based on its weight.
- Machine efficiency factor adjusts the production based on how efficiently your machine is working (percentage value).
- Production rate factor converts the production rate from cookies per minute to cookies per second.
Practical Tips
- The calculator assumes standard cookie recipes. Adjust ingredient amounts if you're using a different recipe.
- For more accurate results, consider the baking time and cooling time in your production rate.
- Machine efficiency can be affected by maintenance, temperature, and other factors.
