Tips for Cutting Recipes Down
Think in Tablespoons
A cup is 16 tablespoons and a tablespoon is 3 teaspoons. Converting an awkward amount to spoons first — ¾ cup is 12 tablespoons — makes halving it trivial.
Weigh Instead
Grams halve cleanly where cup fractions don't. Use our cups to grams converter to switch the recipe to weights, then divide.
Keep Baking Times in Mind
A halved cake in a smaller pan bakes faster — start checking about 10 minutes early. Seasonings often need more than half; taste as you go.
Scaling a whole ingredient list at once? The recipe scaler does every line in one step.
