# Recipes

In case the product uses several configuration parameters, *Recipes* can be used to store snapshots of a set of values covering a specific working case.

For instance:

- **Slow Profile**: a set of parameters values allowing the machine to work slow (slow velocity, high quality)
- **Fast Profile**: a set of parameters values allowing the machine to work fast (high velocity, low quality)

# Creating a Recipe

To add a new *Recipe* to a *Thing Definition*, you should:

1. Enter the *Remote Control* / *Recipes* page.
2. Select the *Thing Definitions* tab.
3. Select the *Thing Definition* to edit.
4. Press the *Add Recipe* button.
5. Provide the required information.
6. Press the Save button and edit the additional information, if needed.

# Editing a Recipe

A Recipe is described by:

- **Name**: the name which is visible to the user in order to select a recipe to apply (e.g. Summer Mode).
- **Description**: the text describing the recipe purpose (e.g. The set of parameters to be used during the Summer period).
- **Parameters**: the set of thing-definition parameters and values to be applied.

In addition to manual input, you can also use import/export based on CSV to perform bulk update of the parameters involved in a recipe.

# Using Recipes

Within the PDS, users can select and apply recipes to remote products using the [Recipe List](/docs/recipe-list-widget) widget.

# Recipe Remote Update

Connected products can save recipes directly on the cloud by using a specific [MQTT System Request](/docs/mqtt-system-requests).
