Translate ingredients

Check this if you like ingredients to be translated or not.

Volume unit

Set the volume unit used in the places volume is presented.

Overrun

The estimated overrun. Overrun can not be calculated automatically so to be able to estimate the final ice cream volume you have to manually type in the overrun. Overrun can also be changed in the main dialog and in the overrun dialog.

Nutrients per/

In Europe for example the nutrient data is always presented per 100g but in other countries the nutrient data is presented on a per portion weight. So, here you can change how the nutrient data is presented in for example the Nutrients dialog.

Adjust for overrun

If this checkbox is checked the serving temp calculations will be adjusted slightly with the amount of overrun. An ice cream with more overrun is softer compared to an ice cream with less overrun.

Temperature

Affects how temperature is presented in the charts and freezing curves.

Autosize recipe table

If this checkbox is checked the recipe will always auto size to show all ingredients in the recipe. If it is unchecked the size of the recipe table is fixed and can be resized by the split bar in the main dialog.

Load last recipe at startup

If this is checked the last active recipe will be loaded when starting the calculator.

Show recipe locked warnings
