Change portions without doing all the arithmetic.

Step by step

5 steps · 1 min

1. 01

   Open the saved recipe

   Find the recipe you want to cook and look at its current serving count. Check that the base quantities make sense before scaling.

2. 02

   Use the minus and plus controls

   Decrease or increase the displayed serving count. Each tap changes it by one person, within the range supported by the app.

3. 03

   Review the ingredient amounts

   The ingredient quantities update with the serving multiplier. Check quantities that were estimated or given without an exact measurement.

4. 04

   Open cooking mode

   Choose Cook now to use the recipe with the current serving multiplier. Ingredient amounts shown in the instructions follow that multiplier.

5. 05

   Edit separately if you want a new saved version

   A temporary serving adjustment is not the same as editing the original recipe. Use Edit Recipe or Make a Copy when you want to save a different version.

How FOODIE: Recipe Saver helps

The same serving multiplier is used for ingredient cards and cooking instructions, so you do not have to recalculate each reference while moving through the recipe.
