FAQ
how do i scale a recipe
To scale a recipe, simply provide the ingredient list with quantities and a multiplier, and you'll receive a scaled list with notes on non-linear ingredients. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour for 4 servings, scaling it up to 8 servings would require 4 cups of flour.
what doesn't scale linearly in a recipe
Ingredients like yeast, salt, baking powder, chilli, and spices do not scale linearly, as their quantities may need to be adjusted differently to maintain the desired flavour and texture. Our recipe scaler will flag these ingredients and provide a brief explanation.
how to convert a recipe from a different country
When converting a recipe from a different country, it's essential to consider the different ingredient quantities and units used. Our recipe scaler can help you adapt a recipe to your preferred units and ingredient quantities, ensuring that your dish turns out as intended.
how to adjust ingredient quantities for a large group
To adjust ingredient quantities for a large group, simply provide the ingredient list with quantities and a multiplier, and our recipe scaler will do the rest. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people and you need to serve 20, our scaler will provide you with the adjusted ingredient quantities.
Sample output
600g plain flour 6 eggs 450ml whole milk 3 tsp baking powder a pinch of salt (approximately 1¼ pinches) Notes: * Baking powder does not scale linearly as it affects leavening and texture, so 3 tsp may need adjustment. * Salt is scaled approximately due to its small quantity and pinch measurement. * Yeast is not present in this recipe, but if it were, it would also not scale linearly. * Eggs scale linearly in this recipe, but the number of eggs may affect the final texture and consistency, so some adjustment may be necessary.
