How do I scale a recipe?
Enter how many servings the recipe makes and how many you need, or tap a multiplier such as 2×. Type or paste the ingredients. Portionary multiplies every amount by the servings ratio and shows the result next to each line.
Can I use fractions in ingredient amounts?
Yes. Enter 1/2, 1 1/2, 1½, 0.5 or a whole number. Results use measures you can scoop: 3 tsp is shown as 1 tbsp, 16 tbsp as 1 cup, and the exact amount stays underneath.
What happens to 1½ eggs?
Eggs, garlic cloves, cans and other whole items get a practical suggestion, for example 2 small eggs or 1 large egg plus 1 yolk, with the exact weight of beaten egg. Eggs affect structure in baking, so weigh them for cakes and breads. The shopping list rounds whole items up.
Should I scale cooking time too?
No automatic cooking-time rule is reliable. Pan size, depth, oven load, and the recipe itself affect cooking time. Check the food as it cooks.
Does my recipe get uploaded?
No. Scaling runs in this browser and the recipe you are editing is saved only in this browser's local storage. Optional analytics, only if you allow it, counts page visits and button actions, never ingredients.
