How it works
Paste the ingredient list, enter how many people the recipe serves and how many you're cooking for. Every line that starts with a number, including fractions like 1/2 or 1 1/2, is rescaled. Lines without a number, like "salt to taste", stay as they are.
Tips for scaling
- Spices and salt: scale them down a little less than everything else, then taste.
- Baking: works best at exactly half or double. Eggs don't split well, so whisk one and use part of it.
- Pan size: half a recipe in the same pan cooks faster. Check early.
Cooking for two most nights? Meal planning for two helps you use up the rest.
