Me every time somebody asks why I use scales for everything
Why do you use scales for everything?
Because it’s way more precise than pouring liquids into a beaker (which can be off by 10%), much easier to judge than bending down to judge a level, and since with water 1 ml == 1g (yeah, metric system helps…) fairly easy to calculate. All other liquids commonly used are close enough.
Also what the fuck is 3 cups of flour/rice/salad (?!) even supposed to mean. Loosely packed? Compressed?
^^ thanks for doing it for me 😂 volumetric measuring can get to fuck for anything precise
Yep, measuring by weight is the only way to get consistent results for bread dough.
The density of flour seems to change based on weather and humidity levels, so trying to measure by volume is pointless.
1ml of distilled water in perfect conditions = 1g … but it’s still close enough most of the time to not matter. Other liquids could be off by larger margins.
Tsks tsks in Asian for measuring rice with anything other than your hand
If I come across a recipe that has cup measures there’s no chance I’m using it
good lord I hate cup measurements
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that I am very much a James Hoffman disciple, between that and being a foodie I was always destined to be a weight supremacist.
