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.
