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 (6÷4).
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.
