Recipe Multiplier & Divider

Multiplying a recipe by 3 or dividing it in half sounds simple until you hit ⅔ of an egg, a pan that's the wrong size, and a bake time that doesn't scale linearly. RecipeFix does the math and the technique adjustments in one pass. Paste any recipe, pick a multiplier (×2, ×3, ×4) or a divider (½, ⅓, ¼), and get an accurate, rewritten recipe in kitchen-friendly fractions.

How It Works

Paste a recipe link, text, or photo. Choose your target servings, or pick a preset multiplier (double, triple, quadruple) or divider (half, third, quarter). RecipeFix recalculates every ingredient in fractions your measuring cups actually have (⅓, ¼, ⅛), rounds sensibly, and flags the ingredients that don't scale linearly · salt, spices, leaveners, and baking soda all get non-linear adjustments so the recipe still tastes right.

The Adjustments That Matter

Eggs: when a divider gives you ⅔ of an egg, RecipeFix suggests beating one egg and using two-thirds by weight (or dropping a tablespoon of milk to compensate). Pan size: doubling a 9-inch cake usually means a 9×13, not two 9-inch pans · and the bake time barely changes. Salt and spice: never scale one-to-one on a triple; RecipeFix scales by ~85% to keep flavor balanced. Leaveners: baking powder and baking soda scale sub-linearly to avoid metallic aftertastes.

Cook Mode Built for Batch Cooking

Once your recipe is multiplied or divided, launch Cook Mode. Per-step timers, per-step ingredient checklists, and quantities that match your batch · no mental math while your hands are full.

Frequently asked questions

How do I multiply a recipe by 3?

Paste the recipe into RecipeFix, set the target servings to 3× the original (e.g. from 4 to 12), and every ingredient is multiplied with kitchen-friendly fractions. Spices and leaveners are scaled sub-linearly so the flavor stays balanced.

How do I divide a recipe in half?

Paste the recipe and set servings to half the original. RecipeFix converts everything into real kitchen fractions (½, ¼, ⅛), handles the odd-egg problem by suggesting a weighed portion, and adjusts the bake time and pan size when relevant.

What do I do with ½ an egg?

Beat one egg in a bowl, weigh it, and use half the weight (a large egg is about 50g, so use 25g). RecipeFix flags this on any divided recipe with a suggested substitution.

Do bake times change when I double a recipe?

Usually less than people think. Doubling a 9-inch cake into a 9×13 adds only 5–10 minutes because the surface area grows proportionally. RecipeFix suggests the right pan and adjusts the time.

Does the multiplier work for savory recipes too?

Yes. Soups, stews, casseroles, sauces · anything scales. Salt and acid are dialed sub-linearly so a tripled batch doesn't taste over-seasoned.
