Recipe Scaling Calculator

Recipe Scaling: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers original servings (n). Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.

Recipe Scaling Calculator is a planned calculator in the food and drink section of Super Calculator, covering food and drink.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: original servings (n), target servings (n), ingredient list (list) and units (label).

Outputs: scaled ingredient list (list), scale factor (n), suggested pan size (label) and adjusted cook time note (label).

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Each ingredient quantity multiplies by the ratio of target servings to original servings. The scaling is linear for ingredients and non-linear for cooking time, pan size and seasoning, which is why a straight multiplication produces a failed dish at large scale factors.
