# Recipe Scaler and Converter

Doubling a recipe is not just doubling the numbers.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Paste the full ingredient list and method** (longer free text)
- **Serves** (free text, e.g. "original number")
- **target number** (free text, e.g. "target number")
- **Units** (choose one: Metric grams and millilitres, US cups, Imperial, Leave as is)

## Prompt template

Rescale this recipe.

{{Paste the full ingredient list and method}}

Serves {{Serves}} and I need it to serve {{target number}}.

Units: {{Units}}

Give me the new ingredient list with sensible rounding. Flag the things that do not scale linearly: seasoning, raising agents, cooking time, pan surface area. Tell me what tin or pan size this now needs and how the timing shifts. If it would be better cooked in two batches than one enormous one, say so.
