There was this uber chef that tattooed circles on his palm so he could measure stuff by hand instead of using spoons like the rest.

[Anonymous No.19000986]

>>19000967
Wouldn't that be too much since the volume would include the measuring cup itself? Why not just do everything by weight and pour it all directly into one bowl. A scale is like 20 bucks

I've been pouring honey into flour all wrong this whole time?

People who measure ingredients by volume are doomed to mediocrity.

Kitchen scales are relatively new, so none of the recipes in my family cookbook measure by weight

[Anonymous No.19001925]

>recipe calls for sticky ingredient and another ingredient like milk/water
>just rinse out the measuring cup with the milk/water after so i get all of it in the end

step aside plebs ck einstein right here

Julia Child didn't measure shit. If you watch her old show, she's always adding like twice as much salt and butter as the recipe called for.

[Anonymous No.19002039]

>>19002033
She would often measure with her hand then say "thats exactly a teaspoon" proudly. Even seen her pour it into a teaspoon for proof on one of her pbs shows. Was one of her gimmicks. Probably to get cooklets to stop obsessing over minutiae

Just convert you lazy fuck

[Anonymous No.19002598]

For every % you increase the radius, you get twice as much volume increase. That retard zoomer is fucking up the recipe big time.

[Anonymous No.19002621]

>>19002598
What?
Volume of a sphere increases with r^3, which means a 1% increase in radius only results in a 3.03% increase in volume.
I highly doubt your average measuring spoon is even 3% accurate in the first place.

[Anonymous No.19002623]

>>19000986
I don't think a 1mm thick cup will have that great impact on it. certainly less difference than what will be stuck in your cup if you measure in it.
scales is based however, just a pain when doing new recipes that use volume

[Anonymous No.19002639]

>>19002621
>a sphere
dis nigga measuring his liquids with a closed sphere instead of a cylinder ROFL

[Anonymous No.19002652]

>>19002639
Volume of a cylinder scales with r^2, so the error is even less for a cylindrical measuring spoon.

Yeah because it fuckin tastes good

[Anonymous No.19002999]

I guess you're feeling pretty stupid right now because you haven't thought of it before

[Anonymous No.19003049]

>>19000986
Recipes are pretty arbitrary anyway. The perfect amount probably isn't exactly a quarter cup or whatever.

I know that smell is a really important part of taste, but how to minimise half of the aromatic compounds escaping into the atmosphere. Imagine how good food can be

imperial volume measures are not that precise to begin with. Just leave few millimeters on top to take the measuring cup volume into account and you're set.

[Anonymous No.19003406]

>>19001007
Yep. Only faggots who don't cook often need to measure every single ingredient like a cuck.

[Anonymous No.19003432]

I can sort of understand over obsessing having the correct measurements for flour or whatever, but it's not like a liquid is going to have significant variance in density (unless you're doing your cooking on a mountain top or something).

Can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be. Simple geometry

I’d more be worried about how sturdy it is. Those joints just look like thin plastic, so they’d get weaker overtime and it’d eventually fall apart.

[Anonymous No.19005205]

>>19005197
It's twenty bucks for a set of two, so even if it lasted a year that'd probably be good enough.

I mean you could also just spray a little Pam on the measuring cup

>>19000986
>Why not just do everything by weight
Yeah, this is the easiest method. Sometimes if I've already thrown stuff in a pan that's heating up, I'll weight the container of product, tare it, and remove some until it comes out to a negative of how much I want.

You fucking idiots, she was a TV chef. She would call out the real amounts but just slap in whatever because the mixed ingredients would never be used. There was always an already completed dish prepared she could pull out at the end.

She used to always have to remind Jacques that things didn’t needed to be cooked as long as the real thing because they were just filming for show.

My grandmother taught me to make amazing bread just based on the feel of the dough.
