Night record

Planning here works on its own. Once a night starts, it travels between the three tools by itself.

Cooking notes

Arancini al burro, fried to order

Form and freeze ahead. Fry from frozen in short bursts — the fryer is the day, the shaping is not.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 24 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

What does not scale

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time
Pan time scales, because a second panful is a second turn: about 30 minutes at the stove in total. Crowding one pan to save a round drops the heat and stews it.
What job it does

Wants the end of the evening: 25 minutes of grace, and most of that is optimism.

Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for arancini al burro, fried to order, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 24 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
  3. The part that keeps can be done up to 1 day ahead. About 20 minutes of finishing stays on the day.
  4. Stovetop occupancy is about 30 minutes at this scale. One pan, do not crowd.
  5. Form it ahead. Fry on the night, and do not hold what comes out of the pan.
  6. Holds about 25 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
  7. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Make-ahead

The part that keeps can be done up to 1 day ahead. About 20 minutes of finishing stays on the day.

Scaling

Base recipe: one batch, 24 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 30 minutes at the stove either way.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
