How to use this tool

Enter the original serving count and the serving count you need. List ingredients one per line beginning with a quantity, such as 2 cups flour or 1/2 tsp salt. Adjusted quantities appear automatically.

Quick steps

  1. Set the recipe's original serving size and your desired serving size.
  2. Enter one ingredient per line, beginning with a numerical quantity.
  3. Review adjusted quantities and copy the scaled ingredient list.

Practical tip

This multiplies quantities but does not convert units, change oven temperatures, or adjust baking times. Some seasonings and leavening ingredients may need testing rather than exact proportional scaling.

Common questions

Can I scale fractions such as 1/2 cup?

Yes. Simple fractions, decimals and mixed numbers such as 1 1/2 are supported at the beginning of ingredient lines.

Does it convert cups to grams?

No. It scales the numerical quantity without altering the unit in your recipe.

Should I scale all baking ingredients exactly?

Not always. Cooking and baking chemistry can need additional adjustments for pan size, cooking time or seasonings.
