You're asking for the impossible. That's why these vague measurements like a "pinch" exist. Ingredients vary in flavor, and so do personal preferences, so it's impossible to give an exact figure.

Let's say I tell you to put a teaspoon of red pepper in your chili. If you have an old jar of crap-tier spices like McCormick that's been sitting in your pantry for three years it's not going to be anywhere near enough. If, on the other hand, you have freshly purchased good quality pepper then that teaspoon might be far too much. You cannot predict seasoning, you must taste and adjust. Heck, it's not just seasoning, it's any kind of ingredent. Cooking with apples? Sometimes they are sour as hell and you need to add more sugar to balance that out. Other times they're sweet enough not to need any more sugar.

It's challenging as a noob but you will quickly learn.

>> No.13885582

>>13885561
A culinary pinch isn't vague. It's very specifically 1/16 of a teaspoon or .3mL, which is roughly how much the average person can grab with a pinch.

>> No.13885595

>>13885582
You're probably the only person on earth who actually considers a pinch to have a specific definition. Any recipe which calls for a "pinch" is being deliberately vague. Any recipe which honestly requires that degree of precision--say for molecular gastronomy type of stuff--will use weight instead.

>> No.13885601

Whether or not the term has a definition doesn't matter because its definition has nothing to do with how much you need to use. You adjust and use more or less depending on your preferance and the flavors of your specific ingredients.

>Are you an incel?
Nope.
Still waiting on your answering my question about whether or not you're female though. I don't have to ask if you're a sperg as that's abundantly clear.

Baking is less forgiving with inaccuracies. One ingredient too many can destroy your recipe.
By weight is always the most based system.

cup in australia = 250ml
cup in us = 236.588
cup in uk = 284.130

Cup of flour = 120g, kinda, it can be more if you pack it tighter, or less if you sift it. so its more like

cup of flour = 110g to 135g depending on how you feel

Cup of cold butter... wtf am I melting it then re chilling it? do i cut a cup sized piece of butter? do I just measure the butter cube and calculate its volume?

OR, OR, GET THIS: just use grams

g=g
1g butter = 1g butter

That's a metric cup, and is common to every nation in the Commonwealth. Not just Australia.
>cup in us = 236.588
Officially rounded up to 238, this is a US Customary Cup. Different unit.
>cup in uk = 284.130
This is an Imperial Cup, and is little more than a historic footnote since no one ever used it. Might as well mention the ancient Roman cotyla while you're at it.

>> No.13894803

imperial cup =/= metic cup =/= customary cup
but thats ok because no one uses imperial cup. And if we just ignore that it's impractical to measure solids like flour and butter by volume, the cup is almost not a retarded way to do it. You've convinced me.

The most stupid weights and measures system was the medieval system of market measures where each common unit of measurement had a highly specific definition local to each and every individual market, usually by example measures bolted to the local church wall, but OK.

A cup of flour or coffee for example will vary in how much it actually has due to the siez of grinds and how tightly pakced it is. Weight is far more precise for dry stuff.

>> No.13895299

Using vague measurements in cooking is retarded. If you're an inexperienced cook you won't have any clue what the recipe is calling for, and if you're an experienced cook you'll be adjusting the recipe anyway. There is literally no reason not to provide an actual proper measurement.
