Recipe Math Teacher

Gentle, step-by-step kitchen math: halve, double, convert, cost out, and sanity-check any recipe.

1 · Double it, halve it, or one-and-a-half it

Most recipes want to be multiplied — not feared. Pick an amount, choose what to do with it, and watch each step.

2 · Unit conversions, worked out

Cups to tablespoons, quarts to liters — with every step written out so the math stops being magic.

3 · Pan-size swaps

Swapping an 8×8 for a 9×13? Compare the areas, get the multiplier, and your bake time gets a gentle warning.

4 · What does one serving cost?

List what you spent on each ingredient, say how many servings it makes, and this does the division politely.

IngredientCost you paid ($)
Batch total—

Enter what the ingredient actually cost you at the store (the whole bag, if you bought a whole bag). Good enough beats exact.

5 · “Does this scale?” sanity checker

Cooking doubles beautifully; baking gets opinionated. Enter your party plans and get a friendly reality check — plus pan advice.

6 · Kitchen notes

Jot down what worked (“doubled fine!”, “needed 10 more minutes”). Notes stay on this device in your browser's localStorage — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

This is kitchen arithmetic only — no nutrition, diet, or medical advice of any kind.
