Cooking Tips for Scaling
- • Cooking times stay roughly the same — use larger pans or cook in batches
- • Beans and tea scale linearly — just use a bigger saucepan
- • Eggs: round to whole numbers (use 4 eggs for 4 servings)
- • Keep finished items warm in a low oven (80°C/175°F) while cooking the rest
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scale a recipe for more people?
Simply multiply each ingredient by the ratio of desired servings to original servings. For example, if a recipe serves 2 and you need 6, multiply everything by 3. Our calculator handles this automatically.
Do cooking times change when scaling?
Not proportionally. Cooking times depend more on the thickness and surface area of individual items, not the total quantity. A sausage takes the same time whether you cook 2 or 8. You may need larger pans or to cook in batches.
Can I scale down a recipe for one person?
Yes, but some ingredients (like eggs) do not scale easily to fractions. For a single serving, we recommend using 1 egg and adjusting other items proportionally.
