This article will guide you on how to use Gaia's recipe scaling calculator effectively.
Gaia's recipe scaling calculator allows you to scale your recipe based on the total number of portions you want to make or the amount of ingredients you want to use.
Scaling Based on Servings
To scale based on servings, click into the total portions field. The calculator will automatically calculate the amount of ingredients you need and choose the nearest unit. If you prefer to see the measurements in fractions instead of decimals, toggle on the view option.
Scaling Based on Ingredients
If you want to scale based on a specific amount of an ingredient, type the amount in the respective field. The calculator will automatically recalculate the amount of other ingredients you need and the number of portions you will get.
Selecting Preferred Unit
If you want to use a specific unit, like a full case, pin that as your unit.
The calculator will remember your pinned unit when you update the total portions or another ingredient.
