What’s on the Scaling a Recipe poster
A 7-row table: Element · Scales? · Note.
Doubling a recipe is not doubling every number.
- Flour, sugar, liquid — Yes — Directly
- Eggs — Yes, but round — Weigh if halving
- Salt and spice — Not fully — Start at 75%, taste
- Raising agents — Not fully — ~80% when doubling
- Cooking time — No — Depends on depth, not volume
- Pan size — By area — Not by diameter
- Alcohol, extracts — Not fully — Concentrate quickly
Doubling a cake usually needs two tins, not one deeper one. A deeper batter burns outside before the middle sets.

- Who is the Scaling a Recipe poster for?
- Scaling a Recipe belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning measures can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Scaling a Recipe poster?
- Ingredients scale. Time, pan size and seasoning do not. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Scaling a Recipe belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Scaling a Recipe?
- Baking at Altitude, Brining and Coffee Ratios sit alongside Scaling a Recipe in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Baking at AltitudeBriningCoffee Ratios
- Is the Scaling a Recipe poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Scaling a Recipe downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Scaling a Recipe poster print at?
- Scaling a Recipe is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Scaling a Recipe loses nothing.Printing guide
