Frequently asked questions
How do I scale a recipe?
Paste the ingredients, one per line, and set how many servings the recipe makes and how many you need. Every amount is multiplied, including fractions like ½ and 1 1/2, and ranges like 2–3.
Can it convert cups to grams?
It can change between US cups, spoons and ounces and metric millilitres and grams. Cups of flour, sugar and butter become grams using typical weights; for other dry ingredients it converts cups to millilitres, because their weight varies.
What about eggs?
Things counted by the piece, like eggs, are rounded to a sensible amount (½ an egg shows as ½). Check those before you start.
Are cooking times scaled?
No. Bigger batches can take longer to cook or bake, but not in proportion. Keep an eye on them.
