How it works

Scale ingredient amounts up or down for a different number of servings. Fill in the form and choose Scale recipe. It opens with an example already filled in, so you can see how it works first.

What you need

Recipe serves
You want to serve
Ingredients, one per line

What you get

Multiply by
Copy or save the result

Example

The tool opens with Recipe serves: 4; You want to serve: 6, and some example text.

That gives: Multiply by: 1.5.

Good to know

Scales the number at the start of each line; lines without one are left alone. Fractions are rounded to the nearest common fraction. Cooking times, tin sizes and seasoning do not scale in a straight line.
