How this service works
Scale a recipe's ingredient list by servings or factor: tidy fractions, spoon-to-cup bumping, optional grams, scaling cautions.
Output
Returns a list of scaled ingredient objects, each with the original quantity string, the new scaled quantity (as a tidied fraction or whole number), the unit (bumped up when appropriate, e.g. teaspoons to tablespoons), optional gram weight and a matched ingredient name, plus a summary, the effective scaling factor, any scaling cautions or reasons, and a disclaimer.
Example use cases
Scaling holiday dinner for a crowd
“My pot roast recipe serves 4 with these ingredients: 2 lbs beef chuck; 3 cups beef broth; 4 cloves garlic; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp salt. I need to make it for 20 people — can you scale all the ingredients up and give me tidy amounts?”
Halving a baking recipe
“I only want to make half a batch of brownies. The recipe is for 16 servings: 1 cup flour; 1/2 cup cocoa powder; 2 eggs; 3/4 cup butter; 1 1/2 cups sugar. Can you scale it down to 8 servings and include gram weights for the dry ingredients?”
Multiplying by a custom factor
“Scale this salad dressing recipe by a factor of 3.5 for a catering job: 1/4 cup olive oil; 2 tbsp lemon juice; 1 tsp dijon mustard; 1/2 tsp honey; 1/4 tsp black pepper.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://cooking-calc.x402tookit.com/recipe-scale?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically scale a recipe's ingredient list to a different number of servings or by a custom multiplier, especially when you want human-friendly fractional output (e.g. '1 1/4 cups' instead of '1.25 cups'), automatic unit bumping (teaspoons to tablespoons), or optional gram weights for baking precision. Prefer it over manual math or general-purpose LLM arithmetic when accuracy and tidy formatting matter.
Side effects
- Missing or unparseable ingredient lines returns an error or empty items list
- Factor out of range (outside 0.1–20) may be rejected or produce unexpected results
- Unknown ingredient names will not get gram weight matches (ingredientMatched will be null)
- Ambiguous unit strings may not be bumped correctly
- Very large batches may trigger scaling caution warnings in the reasons array
