How to multiply a recipe
- Paste the recipe into the box above (the ingredient list is enough).
- Set the original servings (e.g. "4").
- Enter the total you want — for 3×, enter 12; for 4×, enter 16.
- Click Scale My Recipe — every quantity is multiplied instantly.
Multiplying for batch cooking
- Split across pans: a 4× cake won't fit one pan — divide it into batches the original size.
- Cooking time stays close: more food in the same pan can add a few minutes, but the time doesn't multiply.
- Season to taste: multiply salt and spices, then adjust at the end.
- Check your equipment: a big batch may need a bigger pot or mixer than you have.

FAQ
Q: How do I multiply a recipe by 3 (or any number)?
Multiply every ingredient by your factor. Paste the recipe above, set the original servings, and enter the servings you want (e.g. 3× a 4-serving recipe = 12). The tool multiplies every quantity and tidies the units.
Q: What's the difference between multiplying and scaling a recipe?
They're the same idea — multiplying applies a whole-number factor (2×, 3×, 4×) for batch cooking, while scaling can be any ratio (e.g. 4 servings to 7). This tool handles both: just enter your target servings.
Q: Can I multiply a recipe for meal prep or a crowd?
Yes — that's the main use. Multiply to the total servings you need, then split across pans or batches. Remember that cooking time and pan size don't multiply with the ingredients, so cook in appropriately sized batches.
