How to scale a recipe

Adjust the whole recipe in three simple steps

Start with the recipe you already want to cook. CookGo keeps its ingredient structure intact, applies one clear serving ratio, and gives you a result you can review before using.

  1. 01

    Import your recipe

    Paste a recipe or cooking video link, add the recipe text, or upload a photo. You can also begin with a sample.

  2. 02

    Set the serving sizes

    Confirm how many servings the original recipe makes, then choose the number you need. CookGo calculates the multiplier automatically.

  3. 03

    Review and use the result

    Check each scaled amount, edit or remove ingredients when needed, then copy, print, or save the adjusted recipe.

What this recipe scaler can do

  • Scale every ingredient that has a clear numeric amount
  • Handle whole numbers, decimals, and common cooking fractions
  • Show available Original, Metric, and Imperial quantities
  • Preserve your edits if you change the serving size again
  • Keep the source recipe available for reference

CookGo changes ingredient quantities, not cooking time or temperature. Salt, spices, yeast, pan size, and doneness still need your judgement.

Practical scaling guide

Scale the ingredients. Adjust the cooking.

A serving ratio is a reliable starting point for ingredient quantities, but different ingredients and cooking conditions need different kinds of review. Use this reference after scaling.

Staples and liquids

Flour, rice, meat, broth, milk

What CookGo does

Applies the serving multiplier to every structured amount.

What to check

Watch texture, absorption, and consistency as you cook, especially when changing batch size significantly.

Whole ingredients

Eggs, fruit, tortillas, garlic cloves

What CookGo does

Shows the proportional amount, including a decimal or fraction when needed.

What to check

Decide whether to divide, weigh, or round the ingredient based on how forgiving the recipe is.

Salt and strong seasoning

Salt, chilli, extracts, concentrated sauces

What CookGo does

Scales the recorded quantity as a clear reference point.

What to check

Add gradually and taste. Brand strength, reduction, and personal preference can change the right amount.

Yeast and leavening

Yeast, baking powder, baking soda

What CookGo does

Keeps the same proportional calculation as the source recipe.

What to check

Fermentation, batter depth, and oven conditions may require recipe-specific adjustments.

Time, heat, and cookware

Cooking time, temperature, pans and pots

What CookGo does

Leaves the source instructions unchanged instead of multiplying them.

What to check

Check food depth, pan capacity, heat recovery, and doneness. Split large quantities into batches when needed.

FAQs

CookGo divides the target servings by the original servings, then applies that ratio to every ingredient with a clear numeric amount. It works for scaling recipes up or down and is also commonly called a recipe multiplier.

Enter your best estimate of how many portions the original recipe makes. CookGo needs an original serving size as the baseline before it can calculate new ingredient amounts.

Yes. Paste a supported recipe or cooking video link, add recipe text, or upload a photo. CookGo structures the available ingredients first, and you can review or correct them before using the scaled result.

You can switch between the recipe's Original units and available Metric or Imperial quantities. CookGo preserves the source measurements and only shows converted values supplied with the structured recipe, so it does not invent unreliable density-based conversions such as cups to grams. You can also edit an amount or unit before copying, printing, or saving the result.

Not automatically. CookGo scales recorded ingredient quantities, but cooking time, temperature, pan size, salt, strong spices, yeast, and leavening still need to be checked while cooking.

Yes. Importing, scaling, editing, copying, and printing are available without an account. You only need to sign in when you save the adjusted recipe to My Recipes.
