== '''Cooking Insturctions''' ==

#Fill 10-12 empty trays with empty vials
#Measure out correct amount of ingredients using scale in cabinet
#Assemble the mixing apparatus 
#Pour '''10 Liters''' of '''Water''' into the pot and start the mixer
#Add '''900mL''' of '''Corn Syrup (Karo)''' into the pot and allow it to mix
#Turn on the steamline, slowly at first but progressively more as the pot begins to heat up
#Once temperature has reached '''60C''' (use thermometer), add in '''67.6g''' of '''Agar'''
##Allow Agar to mix fully into solution. If Agar does not go into solution, the food is unusable 
#After Agar has gone into solution, add '''856g''' of '''Corn Meal'''
##Allow Corn Meal to mix well to reduce clumps in food
#Slowly add '''202.4g''' of '''Yeast''' and '''117.2g''' of '''Soy Flour'''
##Some clumps and chunks will be present, however should go away through mixing
#Bring temperature of food above '''80C''' (edges of pot should be boiling)
#Add '''2.5 Liters''' of '''Water''' to food 
#Bring temperature of food above '''80C''' (edges of pot should be boiling)
#Add final '''2.5 Liters''' of '''Water''' to food
#Bring temperature of food above '''80C''' 
#Completely turn off steamline
#In a 250mL flask, add '''65mL Propionic Acid''' and '''13mL Green Food Coloring'''
##Mix Propionic Acid and Food Coloring thoroughly by swirling 
#Once food temperature has fallen below '''80C''', pour in the Propionic Acid/Food Coloring mixture (will turn food green)
#Pour food into 5 Liter pitcher and use vial filling apparatus 
#Fill vials ~1 Inch full 
#Make sure to thoroughly clean all equipment (mixers, pot, vial apparatus, pitchers)
