Need to feed 2 or 10? AI recipe generators can scale portions—but you should verify. Here's how to double, halve, or adjust recipes safely.
How to Ask for Scaled Portions
"Double this recipe" or "halve for 2 servings" works. Be explicit: "scale to 6 servings" or "make this for 8 people." Our prompting guide has more.
What Can Go Wrong
AI can miscalculate—especially with baking (ratios matter) or odd numbers. Always double-check the math for critical ingredients. See our accuracy guide for what to verify.
Family Dinners and Batch Cooking
Scaling up for family dinners or meal prep? Mention it—"double for 6, with leftovers." For weekly planning, see our meal planning guide.
Save Scaled Versions
Found a portion size that works? Baba Selo lets you save recipes so your "family-size" or "solo portion" version is easy to revisit. Compare AI recipe tools that support saving.
