Crab salad

🥗 How to calculate the ingredients for a salad and not buy too much

“Crab” is the king of the festive table along with Olivier. The main difficulty when cooking for a large company is guessing the proportions. Our calculator solves three problems:

Budget saving: you will buy exactly as many sticks and corn as you need without overpaying for extra packaging. By the way, before going to the store, we recommend checking the benefits of promotions through our discount calculator.
Taste balance: The algorithm uses the classic proportion so that there is no more rice than filling.
Precision in pieces: We translate faceless grams into understandable units - “pieces of eggs,” “cans of corn,” and “packs of crab sticks.”
