Scaled ingredients (×1.5)
How it works
The unit converter uses fixed volume constants (1 cup = 236.588 ml, and so on) for cup/tablespoon/teaspoon/milliliter conversions, and multiplies or divides by a selected ingredient's density in g/ml when grams are involved on either side — a cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very different amounts. The scaler parses each ingredient line with regex to pull out a leading quantity — a whole number, a simple fraction, or a mixed number like "1 1/2" — multiplies it by the target-to-original servings ratio, and snaps the result back to a common cooking fraction (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4) when it's close enough, instead of showing an awkward decimal.
FAQ
What happens to a line that doesn't start with a number, like "salt to taste"?
It's passed through unchanged — the scaler only touches lines where it can extract a leading quantity, so anything without one is left exactly as typed.
How accurate is the gram conversion for my specific ingredient?
It uses a general average density (0.53 g/ml for all-purpose flour, for example), and the real number shifts with how packed or sifted the ingredient is — a kitchen scale will always beat any density-based estimate.
