Scale, Half and Double Quantity Amounts in a Recipe (Chart)

Posted on October 9, 2008 - Thursday by Michie

I was trying to quickly scale a recipe, and found this old chart hidden among my recipe files.  I thought it might come in handy for those that are looking to do the same.

   Hi Karen, I’m glad you found this handy. I used it myself this weekend, too.

   When I found it in my files, I immediately knew somebody out there would need a chart like this.

   This is a great chart but has a flaw on this line: 3/4 cup 3 tbsp. 1 1/2 cups….The half amount of 3/4 cup is wrong and should be corrected.
