Tasty Recipes allows you and your readers to scale your recipes up—the scaling is done automatically by our super-smart scaling algorithm, so there’s no extra work needed on your end to make the recipes scale appropriately.
That said, we know that there are tons of ways to write out different ingredients, so you may find that some ingredients don't scale as expected. If you run into this, you can resolve the issue by making small tweaks to the ingredient!
Below are a few examples of patterns to look out for:
