Free Recipe Scaler
Cooking for a different number of people? Paste your ingredients, set the servings, and get the resized amounts instantly, fractions and all. No sign-up, no math.
Tip: put one ingredient per line, starting with the amount (like "1 1/2 cups flour"). Lines without an amount are left unchanged.
How to scale a recipe
Scaling is simple: divide the servings you want by the servings the recipe makes to get your factor, then multiply every ingredient by it. Going from 4 servings to 8 is a factor of 2, so you double everything. Going from 4 to 6 is a factor of 1.5. The tool above does this for you and rounds to friendly amounts like 1 1/2 cups.
A couple of things to watch: seasoning does not always scale in a straight line, so taste as you go, and a bigger batch does not always mean a longer cook time. Judge baking by doneness, not the clock.
