Recipe Scaler Calculate
Scale recipe ingredients up or down. Adjust serving sizes while maintaining perfect proportions.
Our Recipe Scaler adjusts ingredient quantities. Here's how to use it:
Step 1: Enter the original number of servings the recipe makes.
Step 2: Enter your desired number of servings.
Step 3: Add each ingredient with its quantity and unit.
Step 4: Click 'Calculate' to see adjusted amounts.
The scaler: - Maintains perfect proportions for all ingredients - Converts units appropriately (e.g., teaspoons to tablespoons) - Shows both original and scaled quantities
Recipe scaling uses simple proportion math:
Scale Factor = New Servings / Original Servings
New Amount = Original Amount × Scale Factor
Example: Scaling from 4 to 6 servings: Scale Factor = 6/4 = 1.5 1 cup flour × 1.5 = 1.5 cups flour
Unit conversions: - 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon - 16 tablespoons = 1 cup - 2 cups = 1 pint
