Food preparation system and method using a scale that allows and stores modifications to recipes based on a measured change to one of its ingredients

A food preparation system comprising:

• a scale adapted to generate output signals conveying information related to a mass of at least one ingredient added to a container and to determine masses of a first at least one ingredient and a second at least one ingredient, wherein the scale determines the mass of the second at least one ingredient based in part on a mass of the first at least one ingredient;
• a client-computing device in wireless and operative communication with the scale, the client-computing device adapted to receive the information related to the mass of the at least on ingredient;
• and
• an external resource in wireless and operative communication with the client-computing device;
• wherein the external resource provides information to the client-computing device regarding the at least one ingredient added to the container, and
• wherein the client-computing device generates and stores a recipe as an entry in a memory device based at least in part on the ingredient information regarding the at least one ingredient added to the container, the mass of the at least one ingredient, and the mass of a second at least one ingredient.

A food preparation system comprising:

• an external resource comprising a memory adapted to store a recipe and processing information for the recipe, wherein the recipe includes at least one ingredient;
• a scale adapted to wirelessly and operatively communicate information related to a mass of the at least one ingredient added to a container to the external resource;
• and
• a client-computing device in wireless and operative communication with the external resource, the client-computing device adapted to display the information related to the recipe or information related to the mass of the at least one ingredient, and
• wherein the external resource operatively determines whether to modify the recipe based at least in part on the information related to the mass of the at least one ingredient or an instruction sent by the client-computing device to the external resource.

A food preparation system comprising:

• a wireless network;
• an external resource in operative communication with the wireless network and comprising a memory adapted to store a recipe and processing information for the recipe, wherein the recipe includes at least one ingredient;
• and
• a scale adapted to convey information related to a mass of the at least one ingredient via the wireless network;
• wherein the external resource is adapted to convey, via the wireless network, information that causes a user interface to display the information related to the recipe or information related to the mass of the at least one ingredient, and
• wherein the external resource modifies the recipe based at least in part on the information related to the mass of the at least one ingredient.
