How amounts are shown
Cups, spoons and counts are rounded to the nearest kitchen fraction (eighths, quarters, thirds, halves); ≈ marks a rounded value. Grams, kilograms, millilitres and litres are shown as decimals to 2 places.
레시피 분량 조절 소개
Every amount is multiplied by the scale factor: the servings you need divided by the servings the recipe makes. Cup, spoon and count amounts are rounded to the nearest measure a kitchen set holds (eighths, quarters, thirds and halves) and marked ≈ when rounded. Grams, kilograms, millilitres and litres stay as decimals.
The default recipe goes from 4 to 6 servings, a factor of 1.5, so 3/4 cup of sugar becomes 1 1/8 cups and 250 g of butter becomes 375 g. The Institute of Child Nutrition teaches the same two steps for school kitchens: 35 servings from a 25-serving recipe is a factor of 1.4, which turns 3 cups of tomatoes into 4.2 cups, rounded to 4 1/4.
Lines without a number, such as "salt to taste", are kept as written. Baking time, pan size and seasoning do not scale in proportion, so check them separately.

자주 묻는 질문
How do you scale a recipe up or down?
Divide the servings you need by the servings the recipe makes, then multiply every ingredient by that factor. Going from 4 to 6 servings is a factor of 1.5, so 2 cups of flour becomes 3 cups; going from 4 to 2 is 0.5. The Institute of Child Nutrition advises converting mixed amounts such as 1 lb 8 oz to one unit (1.5 lb) before multiplying.
What is half of 1/3 cup or 3/4 cup?
Half of 1/3 cup is 1/6 cup: 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons and a tablespoon holds 3 teaspoons. Half of 3/4 cup is 3/8 cup, or 6 tablespoons. When no standard measure matches, the calculator shows the nearest eighth or third with ≈ and gives the exact decimal in the table.
Does baking time change when you double a recipe?
Often, because baking time depends on the depth of the batter more than on its amount. Doubled batter in the same pan is twice as deep and needs longer; spread over a pan with twice the area, it keeps its depth and bakes in close to the original time. Keep the oven temperature the same and test for doneness early.
Is a cup the same size in every country?
No. A US customary cup is 8 US fluid ounces, 236.6 mL, while the metric cup used in Australia and New Zealand is 250 mL, about 6% larger. Scaling works the same in both systems because every amount is multiplied by the same factor. NIST advises weighing ingredients on a kitchen scale for accuracy rather than measuring by volume.
“레시피 분량 조절”의 정확도는 어느 정도인가요?
정확도는 입력값과 계산 방법의 가정에 따라 달라집니다. 십진 연산은 유효숫자 50자리를 사용하지만, 추정값·수치해석 방법·원본 데이터의 정밀도는 더 낮을 수 있습니다. 표시값을 반올림해도 이러한 한계는 사라지지 않습니다. 독립적인 출처의 풀이와 대조한 계산 예시: 5. 예를 들어 “Default recipe from 4 to 6 servings”은 Python fractions: 2×3/2 = 3, 3/2×3/2 = 9/4, 3/4×3/2 = 9/8, 1/3×3/2 = 1/2, 250×3/2 = 375와 대조해 확인합니다.
