Use AI to resize a recipe

Feeding 12 instead of 4? AI can do the recipe math and turn grams into cups. Just check its numbers and remember cooking times don't simply double.

Holiday cooking often means making a favorite recipe for a much bigger, or smaller, crowd. Doing the math for every line is tedious and easy to get wrong. An AI chat can resize the whole recipe at once, switch between cups and grams, and make you a shopping list.

Paste the recipe and say how many

Paste the full recipe and tell it how many people you're feeding now and how many it was written for.

Example: "Here's my stuffing recipe. It serves 6. I need to serve 14. Resize every ingredient, round to amounts I can measure in a normal kitchen, and give me a shopping list at the end. [PASTE THE RECIPE]"

Convert measurements

Found a recipe in grams or from another country? Ask AI to convert it to cups and spoons, or the other way. Tell it what kitchen tools you have, like "I don't have a scale."

Check before you cook

• AI can make math mistakes. Check a few lines yourself, especially salt, baking soda, and anything spicy.
• Cooking and baking times don't simply double when the recipe does, and a bigger dish may need a bigger pan. Ask AI for tips, then check with a thermometer.
• For safe cooking temperatures, use foodsafety.gov, not the chat.
• Planning the whole meal? See our Thanksgiving guide. Need easy dinners after? See our week of dinners guide.
