>recipe says to add a pinch of [ingredient]

A PINCH IS NOT A UNIT OF MEASURE YOU DUMB FUCK

>>17353284
1 pinch is the quantity you can pick up between 2 or 3 fingers, using only the tips of the finger.

>>17353284
if you need a recipe to tell you exact measurements down to the grams you don't know how to cook

>>17353295
People always say my food is salty but I never use over a pinch

Seasonings in recipes are loose guidelines.

>Required: Cast Iron Skillet
>Use carbon steel pan
Who /devilish/ here?

>>17353284
That's almost always salt which should be 1-2% of the recipe by volume depending on your salt tolerance. A more specific measurement is pointless really.

what are the odds of someone having freakishly outlier hands and simultaneously being unaware of how big an average hand is?

Why the fuck are some people like this? It's like this at every Mexican bbq I've ever been to.

Why do you hangout with Mexicans?

>>17353284
OI THIS RECIPE DOESN'T SAY EXACTL YHOW MANY DECIKILOMILLLIGRAMS OI NEED O' SALT!! HOW'M I SUPPOSED TO COOK MY MEAL?

>>17357511
I grew up L.A. It was either hang out with Mexicans or hang out with niggers. To me, the choice was clear.

>>17353543
Except for bread and most other baked goods.

>>17358145
wow what a small world
i just chose to hang out with randos online, but if you were a few years before my time that wouldn't have come naturally even for a hypernerd

>>17353275

I agree with all except

Iron Skillet is a basic spell. If you can't cast that you don't belong in a kitchen.

>>17353275
>Required: Dutch Oven

>>17360765
Don't know how people can do that, I've never been able to re-use skillet fats at another meal without shitting everywhere.

>>17353284
if you need precise quantities, you don't know how to cook

One time I ruined a rotary evaporator by boiling away highly volatile noxious solvent inside, which tainted the inner workings and prompted a shutdown of that lab space for the day, but also encrusted the inside of the glass flask with a vitrified mass of cellulose nanocrystals which was impossible to remove

you use the wok outside and get it really hot. swirl some water in it and it's clean.

>>17354218
I see we have an anti-white in the thread

>>17353275
>I don't own a basic piece of cookware
Who's fault is that?

more like cast iron skill-let

>>17363080
Dad was moving, asked if I wanted to take the wok he had, thought it'd take up to much room and shit but god damn does it come in handy when you have other than your mouth to feed. Pushes me try new recipes to get the most out of it. Love it. We're engaged and getting married in June.

Now this is autism.

Be unnecessarily aggressive but in a casual way. Play hard to get when she shows interest. Latina's lose their minds for that kind of thing. Being a "white devil" also helps. Expect her to get angry with you about everything though, most aren't worth the trouble unless hate-fucking is your thing.

>>17364405
>I don't know basic grammar
whose fault is that?

>>17365422
>i don't know what grammar is

>>17365480
What are you trying to say, buddy?
Do you think this is an issue of spelling rather than grammar?
Do you think you look less retarded but saying that?

>>17365483
i'll give you a hint
punctuation is not grammar

>>17353284
>recipe has spices
>the amount of spice is coordinated to the palette of a white trash midwestern mom
>actually needs quadruple of what it says to be noticeable

>>17354165
>non-white, dark-haired pale women
That's a lot of words to gatekeep whiteness my friend.

>>17354165

>>17368805
Not OP, just a massive footfag who is so obsessed that when I read the description of this man's partners ("non white dark haired pale") I immediately thought of Arab Latina and Japanese womens feet and then posted it as an immediate outlet

>>17353284
You understand vague measurements like pinches and dashes are intended so you season or add to the tastes you are looking to achieve?

I honestly believe most anons on /ck/ don't taste their dishes as they cook them - but instead bundle everything together and just hope for the best at the end. Or when adding stuff like salt start with handfuls of the stuff and wonder why it tastes salty.

It works 99% of the time
