Common questions

Should cooking time increase by the same ratio?

The tool scales ingredients only. Adjust cooking time, heat and seasoning separately for the recipe and cooking conditions.

Does it convert tablespoons to grams?

No. Unit labels are preserved as entered. Density-dependent conversions between spoons and grams are not performed.
