Recipe Scaling Help

When scaling a recipe for size, there are some components that need to be considered. Scaling may not have a desired result for all recipes. Below are some general tips for sizing or scaling recipes:

1. Prep Time, Cook Time and Total Time: The time provided with the recipe will not be scaled with the recipe since time for preparation or cooking can vary depending on how far you scale the recipe. For recipes that you scale up, start with the provided cooking time and watch for the desired results. For recipes that you scale down, cooking time may be less than specified in the original recipe.

2. Cooking Temperature: It is best to start with the provided cooking temperature and watch for the desired results. If your dish needs to meet a desired cooking temperature, please watch for that as well.

3. Adding Seasonings to taste: Start by adding "to taste" seasoning in small amounts increasing slowly for best results until you reach the taste you desire. Scaling Exceptions: Scaling will not work for all recipes. Baked items requiring yeast, recipes containing a single large item such as a whole chicken or a delicate pastry recipe may not have a desired result if drastically scaled. Rather than preparing one large pastry for a party, consider making several to the size of the original recipe; this may have a more desired result.
