FAQ
Should cooking time change when scaling a recipe?
Not linearly. Scale ingredients, but keep the original temperature and check doneness early — a larger batch often needs a few more minutes, a smaller one less.
Why doesn't everything scale linearly?
Ingredients do, but pan size, cooking time, and evaporation do not. Scale quantities, then check doneness early since time often changes by the square-cube law.
How do I scale spices and salt?
Start at about 80% of the linear amount and adjust — intensity can grow faster than volume when doubling bold seasonings.
