Adapt a recipe for a larger table

Multiplying ingredients is simple; adjusting the cookware, browning and schedule needs a little more thought.

Scale the cookware too

The serving selector recalculates ingredient quantities, but it cannot enlarge your casserole or baking dish. Food still needs space to cook evenly, so use two dishes or work in batches when necessary.

Do not multiply time automatically

Twice the quantity does not necessarily require twice the cooking time. Keep the stated temperature, begin checking at the original time and extend in small increments using the texture or core-temperature cues.

Serve and store in portions

Put out a first serving and keep the remainder covered instead of leaving the whole dish on the table. Cool uneaten food promptly, divide it between suitable containers and follow the storage advice on the recipe.
