Just eyeball it you autist

You don't eyeball in baking you retard

>>13841395
No recipe ever has done that. That's like saying a recipe measures something in thousands of milligrams.

>>13841445
Literally every American cookie recipe does this.
On rare occasion they convert it to combination cups and tablespoons, or segments of a "stick", but most of them are just tablespoons.

No, just the shitty ones from mom blogs or garbage like Betty Crocker.

Link 2 that measure in "tens of tablespoons".

>Recipe measured things that are difficult to pack in volume
Do americans really...

It kinda makes sense for butter since the sticks are marked in tablespoons.

>>13841658
A stick of butter is 8 tablespoons. If a recipe is going to use more than 10 it's going to say, "x sticks plus y tablespoons". That's just for home cooking. In a restaurant the sticks are divided into quarter cups, and one stick is a pound, and for baking everything will just be by weight. There's no situation where anyone is measuring by "tens of tablespoons".

Just fucking use mass

>>13841676
Mass is being used, dum dum. How else do you think that the measurements can be in both volume and weight?

>>13841690
Unless the imperial system is based on butter is not possible for a stick to be nice round numbers in both volume and mass

>1 pound of butter is 2 cups

Why lie? Why not simply admit you're a moron?

>>13841721
So you are saying that 1lb of generic butter is exactly 2 cups, not a few grams more or less, but dead-on 2 cups? Is the Imperial system based on butter?
Do Americans really...

>>13841884
Butter is measured volumetrically as a solid, but yes, 2 cups of butter weighs one pound. It's not based on butter, retard.

Nowadays I just use recipes that say exact gram amounts for everything
Butter? Grams
Milk? Grams
Flour? Grams
Salt? Grams
Rum? Grams
Gelatin sheets? Grams
If theres no Celsius for temperate just fuck off.

Anyone not using grams for recipes is WRONG and should kys themselves.

>>13841445
Not butter, but I have seen one recipe that said to add 30 tablespoons of oil. So it happens on occasion.

>>13841939
Wow, what a coincidence, I am sure that you are not just cutting corners for the sake of practicality, because I would hate to be wrong by 114g

I'll wait for someone else to post another.
