Does this convert cups to grams or ounces?

No. This calculator rescales amounts inside the unit labels you already typed. If you need to convert one cooking unit into another, use the Cooking Converter.

How does pan-size scaling work?

Round and rectangular pans scale by footprint area when depth is unchanged or left blank. If you enter both the original and target depths, the calculator switches to volume ratio instead.

Will this tell me exactly how to round eggs or packages?

No. The math can scale 1.5 eggs or 0.6 cans exactly, but real cooking still needs judgment. Use the scaled amount as the starting point and round whole items in a way that makes sense for the recipe.

Does a bigger or smaller pan change bake time?

Often, yes, but not by a single reliable rule. This tool only gives the ingredient ratio. Watch texture, doneness, and browning rather than assuming the original bake time still applies.

How It Works

Formula

f = \dfrac{S_t}{S_o}

f = \dfrac{A_t}{A_o}

f = \dfrac{V_t}{V_o}

\text{scaled ingredient} = \text{original ingredient} \times f

Where

$f$: Scale factor
$S_t$: Target servings
$S_o$: Original servings
$A_t$: Target pan area
$A_o$: Original pan area
$V_t$: Target pan volume
$V_o$: Original pan volume

Choose servings mode or pan-size mode. In servings mode, the scale factor is target servings divided by original servings. In pan mode, the scale factor comes from pan area, or from pan volume when both depths are supplied. Every ingredient amount is multiplied by that factor while your unit labels and ingredient names stay exactly as entered.
