Material Detail

Scaling a recipe means that you are adjusting the ingredient quantities for a different amount of servings. While doubling or halving a recipe is relatively easy, you will need to do some math when you want to convert a six-serving recipe for two people or 14 people. Whether you're increasing a recipe or decreasing it—the procedure for adjusting the ingredient quantities is the same.

The first step is to determine a conversion factor. Next, you need to multiply this number by the ingredient measurements.
