How do you initialize subclasses of ActiveRecord?

Rails
1

Having a class

class Recipe < ActiveRecord

def initialize
super()
@someingredients =[“salt”]
end

end

It appears that

Recipe.find(:all)

returns recipes who haven’t been ‘initialized’

How do you setup a suitable initial state when using these finders?

ActiveRecord uses allocate instead of initialize when you find a
records from the database. It does this for performance reasons and
also for data integrity.
