Using the shelf
Helpful to know
Most recipes note how they behave when doubled. As a general guide, increase ingredients proportionally and give a little extra time for larger pans to come up to temperature.
We focus on method and ingredients rather than precise nutritional figures, because home portions vary. The content is general and informational, not dietary advice.
