How the Scaling Engine Works

FlamingChef uses a proprietary ratio-preservation algorithm that analyzes ingredient relationships within your recipe. When you scale from 4 portions to 8, the app doesn't just multiply by 2. It evaluates ingredient types, density factors, and cooking behavior to maintain the exact flavor profile.

The calculation engine supports mixed units, automatic conversions between metric and imperial measurements, and handles fractional portions. Whether you're scaling a barista recipe from single-shot espresso to a 50-cup batch or adjusting a dessert from 6 servings to 100, the proportions remain chemically accurate.

Built with offline-first architecture, all calculations happen locally on your iPhone. No internet required, no server delays, and zero privacy concerns. The educational module provides real-time explanations of how each ingredient scales, teaching you the science behind recipe mathematics while you cook.
