Various embodiments are related to a computerized method and system for
measuring an amount of a food ingredient. In one embodiment, the
computerized method comprises i) transferring a food ingredient into a
tank under the control of a microprocessor, ii) measuring the weight of
the tank with the use of a load cell, wherein the load cell is in data
communication with the microprocessor, iii) generating data indicative of
a value of the transferred food ingredient based on the measured weight
by the microprocessor, and iv) providing the generated data.
