Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter fractions?
Enter fractions naturally like '1/2 cup' or '1 1/2 tsp'. Mixed numbers work too. The scaler understands common fraction formats and converts them correctly when scaling.
What about 'pinch of salt' or 'to taste'?
Ingredients without measurable amounts (pinch, dash, to taste, optional) are recognized as non-scalable and kept as-is. They'll appear unchanged in your scaled recipe.
Why do I see tips like '= 1 cup'?
When scaled amounts become large (like 48 tsp), the scaler suggests equivalent larger units for convenience. These tips help you measure more practically in the kitchen.
