Frequently asked questions
Does scaling affect cooking time?
Not linearly — a doubled recipe may take only 20-30% longer, not double the time. Thicker items need more time; thinner items may need less.
What about baking powder and salt?
Scale them fully but taste as you go — leavening agents and salt do not always scale perfectly, especially for small batches.
How do I scale to a fraction?
Set original to 4 and target to 1 for a quarter recipe, for example. The factor works for any ratio.
