I want to replace 200g of butter with margarine. Margarine costs 0.05 per gram and I have 500g in stock. The conversion ratio is 1.1. How much will it cost and is it available?

You will need 220g of margarine, which will cost 11.00. The required quantity is available in your stock.

Compare replacing 100g of flour with almond flour (0.1/g, 50g stock, 1.2 ratio) vs cornstarch (0.02/g, 100g stock, 1.0 ratio).

The best option is cornstarch. It is the cheapest option at 2.00 and is fully available.

If I replace 500ml of milk with 400ml of coconut milk for a recipe that serves 4, how many servings will I get?

The adjusted serving count is 3.2 servings.

The `get_substitution_analysis` tool uses a conversion ratio to calculate the exact amount of the replacement ingredient needed to match the original recipe's requirements.
