The Portions & Ingredients Calculator
The Portions & Ingredients Calculator
With the Free Online Portions & Ingredients Calculator, you can easily determine the required amounts of ingredients for your recipes based on the desired number of portions and the original recipe's serving size.
Who hasn’t experienced this? You find a great recipe, but it's meant for five people and you're only cooking for two. Or maybe you've got a recipe for four, but you're hosting a big dinner and need to feed twelve. Instead of reaching for a calculator and doing the math yourself, this tool makes it quick and easy to scale your ingredients to match the number of servings you actually need.
Instructions
Recipe Name: Enter the recipe name to include it in the result header.
Number of Portions Required: Enter the number of portions you wish to prepare in the designated field.
Recipe available for these portions: Enter the number of portions the original recipe is designed for in the provided field.
Select Number of Ingredients: Choose the number of ingredients you want to calculate for from the dropdown menu. Options range from up to 5 ingredients to up to 30 ingredients. This is only for the sake of clarity. You can also select up to thirty and still only type in 3 ingredients.
Ingredient Input: For each ingredient, enter the name, amount, and unit of measurement. The amount should reflect the quantity of the ingredient required for the original recipe's serving size.
Calculation: After inputting all relevant information, click on the "Calculate" button to generate the adjusted ingredient quantities for the desired number of portions.
Results: The calculator will display the calculated amounts of each ingredient needed to prepare the specified number of portions. The results will be proportional to the adjustments made based on the original recipe's serving size and the desired number of portions.
