Portion calculator
Scale a recipe for more or fewer people — up to five times as much. Amounts and nutrition change together.
The portion calculator appears in recipes that have a number of portions. If you don’t see it, open Edit and fill in Portions in the Info part.
How to scale
- Open the recipe.
- Find the slider — on the phone in the Portions section, in the browser in the Portion calculator card above the ingredients.
- Move the slider. Each step is one portion: from 1 up to five times the recipe’s portions (for a recipe that makes 8 portions — up to 40).
- Every ingredient amount updates straight away, and the new number of portions shows above the slider.
Scaling doesn’t change the saved recipe — open it again and it’s back to the original.
What scales
- Ingredients — including those assigned to steps.
- Nutrition — “Nutrition scales together with portions.” The card shows values per portion and in total.
- Shopping list — when you add the recipe to the list with Add to shopping list, amounts are for the selected number of portions.
Units
When scaling, Przepisnik uses unit conversions. If you use your own measures, like “glass” or “pack”, give them a conversion in Units — see the separate article.
