Recipe Converter

With this calculator, you can easily convert quantities in a recipe when you want to cook for more or fewer people than the recipe specifies. Enter the original number of servings, the new number, and an ingredient quantity.

How to use the calculator

Enter the number of servings the recipe is designed for and the number of servings you want to make. Then enter the quantity of an ingredient in grams, and the calculator shows how much you need for the new recipe. Repeat for each ingredient.

Tips for converting recipes

Certain ingredients shouldn't always be scaled linearly. Spices should be adjusted with caution โ€“ don't necessarily double the spice amount even when doubling the recipe. Baking times may also change with larger quantities.

When is it useful?

The recipe converter is ideal for parties, family dinners, or when you want to halve a recipe for fewer people. It's also useful for baking, where precise quantities are important for the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert all ingredients with the same factor?

Most ingredients can be directly scaled with the factor, but spices, salt, baking powder, and yeast should be adjusted carefully. Start with 75% of the calculated amount for these and adjust to taste.

Does baking time change when I convert a recipe?

Baking time can change, especially with large quantity changes. A double portion of cake in a larger pan may require 10-15 extra minutes of baking. Always use a cake tester to check.

How do I convert from grams to dl in a recipe?

Converting from grams to dl depends on the ingredient. 1 dl flour weighs about 60 g, 1 dl sugar weighs about 85 g, and 1 dl water weighs 100 g. Use our grams to dl calculator for precise conversions.
