Every recipe can be scaled to the number of servings you need and shown in Metric or US units, whatever it was written in. Ingredients and the amounts inside steps change together.
Change the servings
Find the servings stepper
It's under the Ingredients heading on the recipe, showing something like "4 servings".
Tap − or +
Every ingredient amount, and the amounts mentioned in the steps, update straight away.
Go back to the original
Tap the reset link next to the stepper, like Reset to 4 servings.
Your choice carries into Start cooking, Add to plan, Add to shopping list and Mark as cooked, but isn't saved on the recipe. A recipe that doesn't say how many it serves counts in whole batches instead, like "2 recipes".
Switch units on one recipe
Tap the Convert button next to Ingredients and pick:
- Original for the recipe exactly as it was written,
- Metric for grams, millilitres and °C,
- US for cups, spoons, ounces and °F.
Oven temperatures and pan sizes show in both systems, the one you picked first, like "180 °C (350 °F)", so you can set any oven.
Choose your units for every recipe
Open SettingsUnits and choose Metric or US. With Auto-convert on (it is by default), every recipe opens in your units. Turn it off to open recipes as written. Your shopping list always uses your units.
Why didn't something convert?
- Cups: cup sizes differ around the world, so a bare cup with no clue to its size stays as a cup.
- Odd amounts: scaling can give amounts like "0.8 onion" when there's no neat fraction close by. Round to what makes sense.
- Descriptions and tips describe the recipe as written, so their amounts don't scale.
