That's my problem. With my tiny kitchen and lack of counter space I have
to store the toaster-oven on a rack in the dining room and set it up when
it is to be used. P.I.T.A.

There was a lot of "backing and forthinig" back in the early days of the
echo (mid 1980s) and both Meal Master and Master Cook had their "champions".
I bought a copy of Master Cook and registered my download of Meal master
so I was covere3d either road. 

I have noticed that recipe source has a lot of MC formatted recipes.  Some
of tohse were originally issued as Meal master - to each his own,said the
old woman as she kissed the cow.  Bv)=

Heck Ieven registered a copy of Accu Chef (windoze ready - not DOS).

Here's a Randy with mmore than 3 servings

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Elephant Stew
 Categories: Five, Meat
      Yield: 3800 Servings
 
      1    Elephant
           Salt & pepper
      2    Rabbits
 
  Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should
  take about 2 months.
  
  Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train
  tank car.
  
  Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450ºF/234ºC.
  
  This recipe should serve 3,800 people.
  
  If more are expected, add 2 extra rabbits, do so only
  if necessary as most people do not like hare in their
  stew.
