Scaling a Recipe

    You can Scale a recipe so that you can serve a different number of people. To do this, just change the 'Scale Ingredients to serve' field to a different value:


All ingredient amounts will be recalculated for you.

Note: If you change the 'Serves' field, then the amount of each ingredient is unchanged. This will, in effect, change the serving size instead of the amount of each ingredient.

Example:  This initial recipe serves 2, and is scaled to 2:
  Ingredients
  1 cup sugar
  1 cup flour
  1 tablespoon butter

After changing the 'scaled to serve' to 4, the ingredients will be:
  Ingredients
  2 cups sugar
  2 cups flour
  2 tablespoons butter
