The recipe says you need 2 lbs of chicken. I have 3. Do I just add (+1) to everything the recipe says?!
Answers: Like it says it is only for 2lbs of chicken. I have 3...how do i equal the recipes ingredients if it is 1 lb more of chicken?
1.5 times everything, if you want to make that much. Or just set aside a pound of chicken for something else.
Good luck!
Use 150% of the other ingredients. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you increase the other stuff - it depends on the recipe and what the other ingredients are.
well what are you making? why dont you just use the 2 and save the other one.
You can. But sometimes it is not needed.
If you want to cook it all now, multiply the ingredient amount by 1.5, for example....
2 pounds of chicken X 1.5= 3 pounds of chicken
1 tablespoon butter X 1.5 = 1.5 tablespoons butter
and so on.
You aren't doubling it, you are adding 50% more.
The easier way if you aren't a math whiz is to just make the recipe as is with 2 pounds, and freeze the extra pound for another meal.
