Questions
How are amounts rounded?
Cups and spoons are rounded to practical kitchen fractions, and metric amounts to sensible steps. For example, 1 1/2 cups flour scaled from 4 to 6 servings becomes 2 1/4 cups.
Can it convert cups to grams?
For a list of known ingredients it can add approximate grams. These are typical values, not exact for every brand or packing method, so weigh where precision matters.
Does it adjust cooking times and pan sizes?
No. Only ingredient quantities are scaled. Baking times, pan sizes and temperatures do not scale in a straight line, so adjust them yourself.
