Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about portion conversion and ingredient substitutions.
Does the converter work for any type of recipe?
Yes: desserts, first courses, main courses or doughs — the conversion is proportional and works for any list of ingredients with numeric quantities.
What do I do with "to taste" ingredients?
Ingredients with a free quantity aren't scaled: they stay "to taste" in the result too, because they don't follow a fixed proportion.
Do the substitutions change the final result of the dish?
The equivalences suggested are the most common ones in cooking, but texture and flavour can vary slightly: for delicate desserts we recommend a preliminary test.
Can I save or print the result?
Yes: after converting you can copy the table to the clipboard or print it directly from the "Print" button.
