Why do some ingredients of a recipe not scale proportionally when making multiples of the specified amount?

230 views

Sorry for weird wording, not a native speaker.

I keep hearing that for example when making twice the amount of a meal as given in the recipe, I should be careful with proportionally scaling certain ingredients like salt or similar stuff. I just don’t get it, why would thats be the case?

I’ll add that the physical dynamics of cooking/baking/roasting are highly dependent on total volume and surface area.
