Serving calculator
Resize recipes without doing the math by hand
Use the recipe scaler when you are cooking for fewer people, doubling a family dinner, or preparing food ahead. It keeps the ratio clear and gives you a clean ingredient list to follow.
- Scale soups, sauces, casseroles, and meal prep recipes with confidence.
- Check seasoning after scaling because salt, spice, and acidity may need tasting adjustments.
- For baked goods, adjust pan size and baking time in addition to ingredient amounts.
Quick answers
Can I double every ingredient exactly?
Most cooking recipes can be doubled directly. Baking, thick sauces, and strongly seasoned recipes may need small adjustments after scaling.
Does cook time double when servings double?
Usually no. Bigger batches may take longer to heat through, but the best check is texture, doneness, and safe internal temperature.
