Recipe Scaler
Scale an ingredient list to new servings or a direct multiplier.
Open this toolCooking for six instead of four should not mean guessing every ingredient separately. A serving multiplier gives the batch a consistent starting point.
Keep the original units on each ingredient row. The quantities scale together, but pan choice, seasoning and cooking time still need attention.

Why use this tool
Ingredient rows preserve the recipe's proportions and make fractional quantities easier to check before weighing or shopping.
Before relying on the result
All lines scale proportionally. Baking time, pan size and seasonings may need separate decisions.
Tool limitations
All lines scale proportionally. Baking time, pan size and seasonings may need separate decisions.
Questions
Will doubling the recipe double the baking time?
No. Batch depth, pan shape and oven behaviour affect timing. Scale the ingredients here and decide the cooking schedule separately.
