FAQ

How does the parser work?

It recognizes common formats: "2 cups flour", "1/2 tsp salt", "1 1/2 tbsp oil", "200g chicken". It handles fractions, decimals, and Unicode fraction characters like ½ and ¼.

What if a line is not parsed correctly?

You can manually edit the quantity, unit, and ingredient name after parsing. You can also add ingredients manually using the "Add ingredient" button.

Does it adjust cooking time?

No, this tool only scales ingredient quantities. Cooking times often do not scale linearly and depend on equipment, so they should be adjusted based on your experience.

Can I switch between US and Metric units?

Yes. Toggle between US Customary and Metric to convert all units. For example, cups become milliliters, ounces become grams.
