It depends on what you're cooking. Some recipes can be doubled (or more), some cannot. What are you cooking?

 

[Ella]

if the recipe is for 4 servings, just times it by 5. so say you had 1/2 cup of water, make it 2 1/2 cups.
this will give you 20 servings, so you'll have extra, just in case you need more. ^-^

divide each ingredient amount by 4 so you get the amount you need for 1 serving and multiply it by 18.

 

[Nicholas]

make a ratio with a variable for each ingredient
