Baking - scientific? With so scientific measurements like “cups” or “spoons”?
Grams-only recipe or no deal. Liquids, dry ingredient, all in grams.
Except eggs, they get a pass.
I’d be careful especially with the eggs. The supermarket eggs here are about 60g, but can go down to 50g. The farmshop eggs here are 70 to 80g, but occasionally even bigger. 90+g double yolk eggs are my favourite, but they would complicate any baking recipe.
Dash = less than ⅛ teaspoon
1 teaspoon = ⅓ tablespoon = 5 ml
1 tablespoon = ½ fluid ounce = 15 ml
1 fluid ounce = ⅛ cup = 30 ml
¼ cup = 2 fluid ounces = 4 tablespoons = 59 ml
⅓ cup = 2.7 fluid ounces = 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon = 79 ml
½ cup = 4 fluid ounces = 8 tablespoons =118 ml
⅔ cup = 5.3 fluid ounces = 10 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons = 158 ml
¾ cup = 6 fluid ounces = 12 tablespoons = 177 ml
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 16 tablespoons = ½ pint = 237 ml
2 cups = 16 fluid ounces = 32 tablespoons = 1 pint = 475 ml
Still confused?
I’m too European and too sober to understand this.
But the memory of it will burn itself into your brain.
“Fluid ounces” are not exactly scientific measurements. Milliliters are.
It’s a brownie, not a nuclear war head.
The point is that ounces are not scientific. They are only used by excplicitely non-scientific countries and people.
Got it.
The Egyptians and Greeks can’t be considered scientific because they didn’t use metric, never mind that they measured the size of the Earth using shadows.
Newton used ounces, obviously not scientific.
I don’t know where you live, but you sound like you were educated in a bad american school.
But what’s a pinch, smidge, and “to taste”?
I never thought I’d have to give this advice, but if you don’t know what ‘a pinch,’ ‘a smidge,’ and ‘to taste mean’ you need to watch more porn.
[jk, you already watch too much porn]
