Tripling recipes for baking

Tripling a baking recipe can change how the batter or dough behaves. For the best results, use multiple pans instead of making one very deep pan. Keep the oven temperature the same unless the original recipe gives separate instructions for larger batches.

Tripling seasonings

Salt, pepper, chili, extracts, and acidic ingredients may taste stronger in larger batches. Triple the amount on paper, but consider adding slightly less at first and adjusting after tasting.
