Scale a Recipe
Import a recipe link or paste the text, then adjust servings and choose Metric or US units.
Review the imported amounts before cooking. Instructions and cooking times stay as written.
How scaling works
- 1. Bring your recipe
Paste a link or recipe text.
- 2. Check the ingredients
Use Edit recipe to check amounts and units.
- 3. Adjust and use
Choose servings and units, then copy the recipe.
Choose a recipe link or paste the recipe text.
Original measures, not display units. Metric: 250 ml cup, 15 ml tablespoon.
Measure sizes and limits
US customary: cup about 236.6 ml; tablespoon about 14.79 ml. UK imperial: pint about 568.3 ml; unspecified cups and spoons are not defined. Metric measures use a 250 ml cup and 15 ml tablespoon, not the Australian 20 ml tablespoon. Explicit units and source equivalents take precedence. Weight estimates depend on the ingredient and preparation. Keep as written leaves unspecified sizes unresolved; they still scale.
If a website blocks the import, paste the recipe above instead. Or start with a recipe from our library.
Edit your recipe
Correct ingredient names, amounts or units, then save your changes to update the results.
Make it your way
Use a multiplier when servings are unknown. 1.5× makes one-and-a-half batches.

Quantities scale mathematically. Cooking time, pan size, and seasoning may need separate adjustment. Weight conversions use ingredient-specific estimates.

About this recipe
Times are from the original recipe and do not change with portion size.
Before you cook
A little checking goes a long way.
The tool adjusts ingredient amounts. You stay in charge of the cooking.
Read the scaling guideHow do measurement conversions work?
Metric converts supported cups and spoons to grams for solids or milliliters for liquids. Whole ingredients keep their counts. The US units option uses US measures. Weights become ounces or pounds, rather than cups. To estimate cups from grams, use the ingredient converter.
Conversions from cups or spoons to grams use ingredient-specific estimates. Displayed amounts are rounded, and your unit choice is remembered in this browser. Unsupported conversions, including unknown cup or spoon sizes, keep the original unit. Dashes and splashes have no fixed milliliter equivalent. Use Edit recipe to correct amounts or units, or View original source ingredients to check the source.
Will the cooking instructions change?
Instructions stay as written, including any quantities mentioned in the steps. Use the adjusted ingredient list and check the pan size, cooking time and doneness guidance separately.
What if a recipe link will not import?
Some websites block imports or do not provide readable recipe data. Choose Paste recipe and copy the ingredients and instructions into the text box instead. Review the result before cooking.
Where does my recipe go?
Pasted text and calculations stay in this browser. URL import sends the recipe link to our import service. Nothing is saved to an account; copy your adjusted recipe before leaving or reloading the page.
