Yes! The unit column is free-text, so you can use cups, grams, tablespoons, or any unit. The scaler only adjusts the numeric amount – it does not convert between units (e.g., cups to grams). Make sure all ingredients are in the same unit system for best results.

The tool requires a positive original serving size. If it’s zero or negative, a warning will appear and the scaled amounts won’t be calculated. Please enter a valid number (e.g., 4, 6, etc.).

No, it only scales the quantity numbers. For accurate conversions (e.g., ounces to grams) you might need a separate kitchen converter. But you can still type any unit and the math will work on the number.

You can use the Copy Scaled Recipe button to copy the list to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere. For printing, just use your browser’s print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) – the scaled table will print cleanly.

Baking is chemistry – scaling by more than 2× or less than ½ can affect texture, leavening, and baking time. For large adjustments, consider adjusting pan sizes or baking in batches. Always test small changes first!
