Scale any recipe, and cook it in your units.
StoveTab scales the recipes you cook with it. Change the servings and every amount updates in kitchen units: 6 teaspoons become 2 tablespoons, and eggs stay whole. Switch between US and metric, and oven temperatures in the steps gain °C or °F. When the author gave gram weights, metric uses theirs.
On iPhone, the StoveTab app opens the recipe's own page with cook mode in a sheet over it.
How it works
- 1
Open the recipe with StoveTab
In Chrome's side panel or the iPhone app, beside the author's own page.
- 2
Change the servings
On the Ingredients tab, tap − or +. Every amount rescales, and so do the ingredients shown with each step.
- 3
Pick your units
As written, Metric or US. Measures land on sizes a cook would use, not 0.33 cups.
- 4
Read temperatures both ways
In metric, “Preheat to 350°F” reads “Preheat to 350°F (175°C)”; in US, Celsius gets its Fahrenheit.
Scaling needs a recipe that says how many it serves or makes. Signed in, you can add the recipe to your shopping list at the servings you chose.

Questions cooks ask
What happens to eggs when I scale?
Things you can't split, like eggs, cans, cloves and slices, are rounded to whole ones, and a rounded count is marked with ≈. Half a can as written stays half a can until you change the servings.
Does it convert cups to grams?
When the author wrote a gram weight beside the cups, metric shows the author's own weight. Otherwise StoveTab converts cups to millilitres and ounces and pounds to grams, and spoon-sized amounts stay in teaspoons and tablespoons. It doesn't guess what a cup of flour weighs.
Does scaling change baking times?
No, and bake times don't scale with amounts. When you scale a baked recipe up or down by about a quarter or more, StoveTab reminds you to change the pan size and check early.
Will it remember that I cook in metric?
Yes, on that browser or phone. The units you pick there apply to every recipe you cook with StoveTab until you change them.
Is StoveTab free?
Yes. Cook mode is free in Chrome and on iPhone: steps one at a time, timers, scaling, unit conversion and your saved place. StoveTab Pro, $29 a year, is for cooks who keep a lot: more than 3 boards and 10 of their own recipes, one shopping list across recipes, and photos on the cooks they log.
