# EVALUATION RECIPES

> Making evaluations consistent and repeatable

Recipes allow you to save the exact configuration of your model tests, making performance evaluations standardized, reproducible, and easy to repeat.

Each recipe automatically logs and versions all parameters and experimental settings, ensuring deterministic execution and consistent results over time. This gives you full transparency into how an evaluation was run and confidence that it can be replicated whenever needed.

## SAVING EVALUATION RECIPES

Oumi allows you save your evaluations as recipes for a complete, traceable record of your configurations, making it simple to reproduce results and maintain consistency across experiments.

### HOW TO SAVE

* From the **Evaluations** page, click on `Run an Evaluation` to start a new evaluation.
* Configure your evaluation's inputs in the Builder.
* Click on the drop-down menu next to the **Save** button and select `Save as`.
* Give your evaluation a `Display Name` and click `Save Recipe`.
