Frequently Asked Questions
How does recipe scaling work?
Recipe scaling multiplies each ingredient amount by a scale factor: Scale Factor = Desired Servings / Original Servings. For example, scaling from 4 to 8 servings doubles every ingredient.
Do all ingredients scale linearly?
Most ingredients scale linearly, but seasonings, spices, leavening agents, and cooking times may not scale proportionally. It is often recommended to use slightly less than the scaled amount for spices and adjust to taste.
