Question 1

How do I scale a recipe up or down?

Accepted Answer

Multiply all ingredients by the scaling factor. Half recipe = 0.5×. Double = 2×.

Question 2

Do cooking times change when scaling?

Accepted Answer

Not proportionally. Doubling a recipe doesn't double time. Adjust based on pan depth.

Question 3

Are cooking measurements exact?

Accepted Answer

Cooking measurements allow some variation unlike baking. Most recipes have margin for error, but baking requires precision. Use weight measurements for best results.

Question 4

Why do recipes use different measurement systems?

Accepted Answer

US recipes use cups/tablespoons, most other countries use grams/milliliters. Weight-based measurements are more accurate and consistent.
