You can duck most inventory quantity questions for ages by working in other people's kitchens, who all have more than you could possibly need in one night's cooking. You have flour in the canister or you don't.
Could add fun elements like "if you flub the eggs 12 times in a row without resetting to the check point then you need to ask a neighbor or go to the store. Remember to turn off the oven!"
Or more usefully, before cooking it takes you through gathering and checking ingredients. Some in fridge, some in freezer, spice rack, counter etc.
Use real guidelines for "its covered in mold throw it out" vs "Mom says she can cut the squishy bit out and make soup with the rest".
How to handle the same recipe with canned, fresh, vs frozen corn?
How to handle subbing ingredients? If using vegan egg substitutes do you pretend its 1 to 1 or include the differences in color, texture, etc? Could you have a check box for "treat as original ingredients" vs "scope creep mode"? Seems pointless to the conceit if you duck showing how it would effect actual cooking.
