Recipe Scaling Makes Adjusting Servings Simple for Readers

You don't want your readers halving your recipe in their head or leaving to find a recipe scaling calculator.

With Tasty Recipes, they tap a button — ½x, 1x, 2x, or 3x — and the ingredients adjust instantly. Your readers get the right amounts without rummaging for a calculator or doing mental math.

Scaled recipes that make it to the kitchen counter

Tasty Recipes doesn't just scale recipes on-screen. It scales them on printed recipe pages, too.

Your readers can adjust the serving size in the print preview before they hit print. When it's printed, they walk into the kitchen with the exact measurements they need, ready to recreate your recipe.

Half-sized recipes for real life

Sometimes readers aren't cooking for 6-8. They're cooking for one or two, so they need a small batch recipe.

They want half the coffee syrup, half the marinade, half the cookie dough. Okay, maybe not half the cookie dough.

That's why Tasty Recipes has ½x scaling. One toggle in your settings, and your readers get the smaller portion option they've been wanting.

Adjusting servings to feed a crowd is just as easy

Recipe scaling works in both directions. When your readers are hosting Thanksgiving or doubling a batch for meal prep, they tap 2x or 3x and the recipe adjusts just as easily.

Tasty Recipes makes recipe scaling as easy as 1, 2, 3

Tasty Recipes keeps recipe scaling simple on purpose.

Your readers see four buttons.
They tap the one they need.
The recipe adjusts.

That keeps people on your post, ready to cook — instead of bouncing to a calculator or worse, someone else's recipe.

Scaling works on all six recipe card templates and matches your site's design from day one. Your readers get the same easy-scaling experience on their phone, laptop, tablet, or printed page.
