Recipe Scaling Tips

  • Spices & Seasonings: When doubling, start with 1.5x and taste/adjust
  • Baking: Be precise with measurements—baking is chemistry!
  • Liquids: When scaling down, reduce slightly more than the ratio suggests
  • Cook Time: Larger batches may need more time; smaller batches cook faster
  • Pan Size: Make sure your cookware can accommodate the scaled recipe
