Frequently Asked Questions

What units can the AI Recipe Converter handle?

The converter handles a wide range of both metric and imperial units including cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, gallons, millilitres, litres, ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms. Whole items like '2 eggs' or '3 cloves of garlic' are scaled by quantity without unit conversion.

How does scaling servings work?

Enter the original serving count from the recipe and your desired serving count. The tool calculates a scale factor (desired ÷ original) and multiplies every ingredient quantity by that factor. A recipe for 4 scaled to 8 servings doubles all amounts automatically.

Can I convert a recipe to metric if it uses imperial measurements?

Yes. Select 'Metric' under Convert Units To, and the tool will translate cups to millilitres or grams, tablespoons to millilitres, pounds to grams, and so on. Select 'Imperial' to go the other direction, or 'Keep Original Units' to only apply the serving scale without converting.

Does it support dietary preferences like Keto or Vegan?

The tool includes a dietary preference flag that highlights ingredients commonly incompatible with diets like Keto, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, Mediterranean, and Low FODMAP. Flagged ingredients are shown in the results table so you know what to consider substituting.

What should I paste into the recipe box?

Paste the ingredient list from any recipe — just the quantities and ingredient names work best (e.g. '2 cups flour', '100g butter'). You can also paste a full recipe with instructions; the tool will parse and detect measurable ingredient lines automatically.

Why are some ingredients not converted?

Ingredients listed without a standard unit (e.g. '2 eggs', '1 onion', 'a pinch of salt') are scaled numerically but not unit-converted since they don't carry a measurable unit. Only ingredients with recognised volume or weight units are converted between metric and imperial.

Is there a limit on recipe length or number of ingredients?

There is no strict limit — you can paste recipes with as many ingredients as needed. For best results, ensure each ingredient is on its own line with a quantity and unit at the start of the line.

How accurate are the conversions?

Unit conversions use standard culinary conversion factors (e.g. 1 cup = 240 ml, 1 oz = 28.35 g). Note that volume-to-weight conversions (e.g. cups of flour to grams) use average density values and may vary slightly depending on the specific ingredient.
