One single entry fills in the quantity, the unit and the product.

 1. **Type the quantity then the name:** for example “150 g butter 82”.
 2. **Pick the product:** ChefBase suggests your pantry first, then the ChefBase bank,
    with the price per kilo.
 3. **Press Enter:** the line is filled and the next one opens.

**Key points:**

 * **Product not found:** “Create in my library” adds it to your own ingredients.
 * **Speed:** you can type a whole recipe without touching the mouse.
