1. A system configured to determine user-created recipes based on indications of individual ingredients added to a dish and determinations of masses of individual ingredients added to the dish during preparation, the system comprising:
- a scale configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the individual ingredients including a first ingredient and a second ingredient, the second ingredient being added to the dish after the first ingredient, andone or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to;
obtain ingredient information indicating which individual ingredient is currently being added to the dish, the ingredient information obtained from a user via a user interface, the ingredient information indicating whether the first ingredient or the second ingredient is being added to the dish;
determine the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the mass determinations based on the output signals from the scale,wherein, responsive to the obtained ingredient information indicating that the first ingredient is being added to the dish, determine a first mass of the first ingredient, andresponsive to the obtained ingredient information indicating that the second ingredient is being added to the dish, determine a second mass of the second ingredient based on the first mass of the first ingredient and a total mass of the dish; and
facilitate electronic storage of information that indicates both the individual ingredients and the determined masses of the individual ingredients in the dish in a new electronic recipe, such that information indicating the first ingredient, the first mass of the first ingredient, second ingredient, and the second mass of the second ingredient is stored in the new electronic recipe.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to a system configured to determine masses, weights, and/or other quantities of individual ingredients added to a food dish during preparation. At least some of the components of the system may be configured to be used in a food preparation area. The system may include a scale, a client computing device, external resources, and/or other components. The system may be configured to weigh and/or determine the mass of individual ingredients of the dish as the ingredients are added to the dish. The system may be configured to determine the individual mass and/or weight of each ingredient based on the masses and/or weights of individual ingredients previously added to the dish and/or a current mass and/or weight of the dish as a given ingredient is added.

11. A method for determining user-created recipes based on indications of individual ingredients added to a dish and determinations of masses of individual ingredients added to the dish during preparation, the method comprising:
-
generating output signals conveying information related to the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the individual ingredients including a first ingredient and a second ingredient, the second ingredient being added to the dish after the first ingredient, and obtaining ingredient information indicating which individual ingredient is currently being added to the dish, the ingredient information obtained from a user via a user interface, the ingredient information indicating whether the first ingredient or the second ingredient is being added to the dish; determining the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the mass determinations based on the output signals, wherein, responsive to the obtained ingredient information indicating that the first ingredient is being added to the dish, a first mass of the first ingredient is determined, and responsive to the obtained ingredient information indicating that the second ingredient is being added to the dish, a second mass of the second ingredient is determined based on the first mass of the first ingredient and a total mass of the dish and electronically storing information that indicates both the individual ingredients and the determined masses of the individual ingredients in the dish in a new electronic recipe, such that information indicating the first ingredient, the first mass of the first ingredient, second ingredient, and the second mass of the second ingredient is stored in the new electronic recipe. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 31, 32)

21. A prompted recipe preparation system configured to determine user-created recipes based on prompts given to a user to cease adding individual ingredients to a dish during preparation, the system comprising:
-
a scale configured to generate output signals conveying information related to masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the individual ingredients including a first ingredient and a second ingredient, the second ingredient being added to the dish after the first ingredient; a user interface configured to receive entry and/or selection of an electronic recipe for preparation by the user, the electronic recipe specifying target masses of the individual ingredients in the dish, such that the electronic recipe specifies a first target mass for the first ingredient and a second target mass for the second ingredient, wherein the user interface is configured to receive entry and/or selection of ingredient information indicating which individual ingredient is currently being added to the dish during preparation, the ingredient information indicating whether the first ingredient or the second ingredient is being added to the dish; and one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to; determine the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish, the mass determinations based on the output signals from the scale; responsive to the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish reaching the target masses of the individual ingredients specified by the electronic recipe, control the user interface to prompt the user to cease adding the individual ingredients, such that responsive to the mass of the first ingredient reaching the first target mass of the first ingredient, control the user interface to prompt the user to cease adding the first ingredient, and responsive to the mass of the second ingredient reaching the second target mass of the second ingredient, control the user interface to prompt the user to cease adding the second ingredient, the mass of the second ingredient determined based on the mass of the first ingredient and a total mass of the dish; and responsive to the masses of the individual ingredients added to the dish not matching the target masses of the individual ingredients specified by the electronic recipe, facilitate electronic storage of information that indicates both the individual ingredients and the determined masses of the individual ingredients in the dish in a new electronic recipe, such that responsive to the determined mass of the first ingredient being a first mass that is not the first target mass, and the determined mass of the second ingredient being a second mass that is not the second target mass, facilitate electronic storage of information indicating the first ingredient, the first mass of the first ingredient, the second ingredient, and the second mass of the second ingredient in the new electronic recipe. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
