Important limits

This is a manual planning tool, not a recipe collection or food-safety guide. It supplies no cooking times, temperatures or safe holding instructions. Use trusted recipe and food-safety guidance for your own dishes. The worked example demonstrates equipment arithmetic only; it does not establish safe cooking or serving times. No automatic conflict detection or calculation is included. Personal household/event use includes sharing completed plans with your helpers; blank-template resale or redistribution is not permitted.
