📊 How Recipe Scaling Works

Scaling Factor: This is calculated by dividing your desired servings by the original recipe servings. For example, if you want 6 servings from a 4-serving recipe, the factor is 1.5x.

Ingredient Scaling: Each ingredient quantity is multiplied by the scaling factor. Measurements are automatically converted to practical amounts.

Cooking Tips: Remember that cooking times may need adjustment when scaling recipes significantly up or down.
