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.
