One multiplier is applied across the ingredient list
Four servings to six means ×1.5; four to two means ×0.5. The tool does not choose different scaling behavior for individual ingredients.

Scale recipe quantities for a different serving count.
Calculate a serving-size multiplier and apply it to the first number found on each ingredient line. It works best with simple entries such as “Flour 200 g” where each line contains one quantity.
Flour 200 g becomes Flour 300 g.A line such as “1/2 piece”, “180–200°C” or “2 eggs (50 g each)” contains multiple numbers; only the first number is scaled. Review every result before cooking.
Four servings to six means ×1.5; four to two means ×0.5. The tool does not choose different scaling behavior for individual ingredients.
Simple one-quantity lines work well. Split compound instructions into separate lines when more than one quantity needs scaling.
The cleaner input is 0.5 rather than 1/2 because the tool is not a full culinary fraction parser.
Doubling ingredients does not necessarily mean doubling oven time, pan size or seasoning. Those need recipe-specific judgment.
Results such as 1.75 eggs can be mathematically correct but awkward in a kitchen. Round or convert according to the ingredient and desired precision.
