FAQs

Does scaling a recipe always work perfectly?

Most recipes scale linearly, but baked goods can be tricky. Leavening agents and spices often don't scale 1:1 — use judgment and taste as you go.

How do I scale cooking time?

Cooking time doesn't scale linearly. Larger quantities may need slightly more time, but check for doneness using a thermometer or visual cues.
