Frequently Asked Questions

How do I scale a recipe?

Multiply each ingredient by the scale factor. If original serves 4 and you need 6, multiply by 1.5 (6รท4).

Do cooking times change when scaling?

Not proportionally. Larger batches may need slightly longer, but it's not linear. Check for doneness.

What about seasonings when scaling up?

Scale seasonings at 75% initially, then adjust to taste. Strong flavors intensify when doubled.

Can I scale baking recipes?

Be careful with baking - leavening agents and eggs don't always scale linearly. Test first with small changes.
