Recipe batch scaling table
Scale a complete ingredient table while retaining each stated unit.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Scales every numeric non-negative ingredient quantity by target/original servings or batch count. Units remain unchanged and are not converted or combined; up to 1,000 ingredient rows. Scaling arithmetic does not imply cooking time, seasoning, pan geometry or discrete ingredients such as eggs scale linearly.

Example result
| Ingredient | Original quantity | Scaled quantity | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flour | 500 | 1,250 | g |
| Water | 350 | 875 | g |
| Salt | 10 | 25 | g |
Scale factor 2.5. Units remain as supplied; discrete eggs, pan sizes, seasoning and cooking time may need separate adjustments.
