- Who is the Marinade Ratios poster for?
- Marinade Ratios belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning ratios can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Marinade Ratios poster?
- Acid tenderises the surface only, and too long turns it to mush. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Marinade Ratios belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Marinade Ratios?
- Baking Ratios, Cake Ratios and Cocktail Ratios sit alongside Marinade Ratios in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Baking RatiosCake RatiosCocktail Ratios
- Is the Marinade Ratios poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Marinade Ratios downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Marinade Ratios poster print at?
- Marinade Ratios is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Marinade Ratios loses nothing.Printing guide
