Recipe Scaler
How to use this recipe scaler
- Enter the original and desired number of servings.
- Paste ingredients one per line, as "amount unit name".
- Scaled amounts appear instantly, including common fractions.
Does this handle fractions well?
Yes — results are rounded to common cooking fractions (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4) instead of showing awkward decimals like 0.666, matching how measuring cups and spoons are actually marked.
Does this scale cooking time too?
No — cooking and baking times don't scale linearly with quantity, so only ingredient amounts are adjusted. You'll need to judge doneness by testing, especially for baked goods.
What if an ingredient line isn't recognized?
Lines that don't start with a clear amount (like "salt to taste") are left unchanged, since they can't be scaled numerically.
