What is Chef's Recipe Scaler?
A culinary tool that calculates new ingredient quantities based on a ratio of original servings to target servings.
How it Works
1. Enter 'Original Amount' (e.g. 100g).
2. Input 'Original Servings' (e.g. 4).
3. Set 'New Servings' (e.g. 6).
4. Get the scaled amount.
Example
Input: 100g, 4 to 6
Result: 150g
