This guy >>8250706 takes 10 minutes to cook an egg, but doesn't make bacon with the eggs because bacon takes 15 minutes.

>>8250831

>>8250836
oven bacon is superior but i'm not a picky bitch so I fry it in a pan like a normal human bean

i'm not into murricans measuremeants, but on the utensil it says 1/4 cup, so what's wrong?

>>8252470

I'm guessing the guy used two scoops, thinking the recipe asked for two 1/4 cups, where the recipe meant two and a quarter cups.

I know this isn't the most appropriate thread, but I just saw this gem and I had to post it SOMEWHERE on /KC/

Or if you understand humour better than: HAHA HARAMBE DAT BOI PEPEPEPEPEPE

>>8252470
He used 2 1/4 cups. As in, two scoops from a 1/4 cup measuring cup. In total, 1/2 of a cup. The recipe called for 2 1/4 cups of flour, which would be 9 scoops from a 1/4 cup scoop.

>>8252672
My brain hurts.

wish I had capped the aftermath of this one.

>>8251046
I've done that a few times.

>>8252701

There was that time Edgar legit asked if you could ferment pure water.

I feel bad for bullying him about it, I've seen some of his content since and I'm pretty sure he's legit disabled and not just stupid.

>>8250831
everything wrong with your shitty american 'units'

adpot grams and liters, and it will make sharing recipes between continents much, much easier for everyone

t. european

btw I'm not saying that guy isnt retarded, I mean 2 1/4 cups clearly means 2 cups + 1/4 cup, but WHAT THE FUCK IS A FUCKING CUP

FUCK YOU

>>8253087
I'm trying to learn easy equivalents for the inevitable switch over.

1 cup = ~275 mg.

I have most of the thanksgiving set from hell if y'all want

>>8253087

am I being rused?

>>8252497
>>8252672
>the recipe meant
how do you know that? the only thing you know about the recipe is what he said: 2 1/4 cups

and from that two quarter cups are right, not two and a quarter.

>>8253102
He means g not mg. 275mg is a ridiculously small quantity.

>>8251577

holy shit I'm laughing so hard
I'm very tired too but still

its pretty funny

>>8253107
No. If two quarter cups was what the recipe wanted then it'd tell you to use a ½ cup you fucking retard.

>>8253087
A cup is actually a fixed volume- 8 fluid ounces, or 237 mL.

>>8253107
Ladies and gentlemen, witness just how fucking stupid people really are.

>>8253124
how do you convert 1 cup of 237ml to any other ingredient that isnt liquid ?

>>8253134
You don't. You can measure 237mL of flour or sugar or whatever. Granted it's a poor way of measuring those things but that's because it's a volume measurement rather than weight, not because of the units you use.

>>8251427
I remember that, he totally bitched out and didn't even post proof he tasted it

>>8252702
it's one of the issue with a slow board full of alcoholics

>>8253134
>>8253138
Usually measuring cups have multiple scales for flour, sugar and water.
Also, you can just weigh out 237 grams since 1 ml of water = 1 gram.

>>8253151
>Usually measuring cups have multiple scales for flour, sugar and water.
Is this some Apple Cabin shit? Why would a volumetric measurement have different scales?

>>8253156
Because flour and sugar particles aren't of the same size, so with the same volume they can have different weights.

>>8252419
More of this guy.
Is he the Tupperware guy?

>>8253162
But cups are a volumetric measurement. Am I being memed?

>>8253087
>be from european country
>mother is from a different european country
>have family in a third european country which speaks the same language as mum's country
>all three countries use cups as a unit of measurement
It's 250ml, homie. American cups are 240ml, IIRC (and I think I do).

The only thing that bothers me is that USicans use cups as a measure for dry goods while we use it exclusively for liquids.
They seldom use kitchen scales at all in the US for whatever reason, so they had to adapt recipes using mass or weight to volumetric quantities.
Still, it's not that big a deal, really. Stopping being so dramatic.

>>8250824
Not a /ck/ post necessarily, but someone really ought to post those """"""""""""""recipes"""""""""""" from Skeletor (AKA thefitveganginger) just for the cringefactor.

>>8253151
yeah, and thats precisely why its retarded

1ml of flour isnt 1 gr

>>8253107
You're actually fucking dumber than the op of that recipe, bravo.

>>8253188
In France, and in the rest of europe too I guess, we use weights to measure ingredients, not volumes.
We use a scale or a measuring cup to get the quantities right. We sometimes use volumes when the quantity doesn't need to be precise (eg 1 glass of water).

>>8252510
>this gem
You have to go back.

>>8251427
This is beautiful

>>8253170
I've never heard of using different scales for different foods. Any baker worth their salt uses a scale

>>8253243
This makes me want to stop picking my nose with pennies.

>>8253107

If a recipe called for 450 mil of something would you use four 50 mil scoops? Are all euros this retarded?

>>8253107
>/ck/

I pissed in a cup of pennies and dumped it into the coinstar

it broke and I'm banned from walmart now

>>8254656
No, because all the numbers are attached there, it's obvious.

Honestly, though, we just use numbers differently. Instead of pulling shit like 2 1/2 cups, we would just say 750 ml, 2 and a half cups, or 2,5 cups eventually. Much more straight forward.

It took some re-reading to understand the pic actually, because it felt so unnatural to convert 2 1/4 into 2,25 .
2 1/4 looks more like 2*1/4 than anything else for me.

I guess it's just a habit one needs to pick up, because it isn't obvious to untrained eyes.

But seriously, Amerifats, I don't know how you managed to fuck up every kind of measurements you have. They are all so weird, irregular and inconsistent. It's as if you were bummed out you didn't have shitty conjugation rules and wanted to develop something equally unnecessarily retarded to keep up with Europe or something.

>>8254879
All the Walmarts or just the one branch?

>>8254896
they didn't say anything in particular about any other walmarts

>>8252497
>>8252672
>>8252687
It should be 2 AND 1/4 cups flour. They just left it out and it made it confusing.

>>8254935
No, it should be the way it is because that's how you write numbers with fractions.

What are they teaching kids in school these days? I'm fucking 21 and I've already seen the death of mixed numbers

>>8254879
Yeah, walmart is using facial recognition software, not.

>>8254891
>>8254891
M8, you shouldn't be complaining about Americans if you are the retarded nigger that failed primary school. If you don't understand mixed numbers you need some serious remedial mathematics.

>>8250824

I don't screenshot it but pretty much anytime I see someone defending fast food and unironically promoting it and even trying to pass it off as healthy, I just have a little giggle and keep scrolling. It takes a special kind of deluded person to say shit like that.

>>8253111
...one is mass and one is volume. 1 cup of oil and 1 cup of water are different.

>>8250847

This one always cracks me up. Props to that guy for having the balls to post it.

>>8251928
I...I need some context

>>8252701
jesus i remember him totally bashing food blogs that include of lot of extra narrative in addition to the recipe. His was different bc his is "funny"

>>8250847
To be fair, koldskal is quite literally a few cups of flour and teaspoons of baking soda short of a buttermilk pancake. How Danes manage to find joy in quaffing half-assed batter baffles me.

Not a ck post but, how would this drink actually taste (imported from /co/'s own horrible webcomic thread)

what and why, explain yourself

i dislike that comic

>>8250874
Fuck off elmer.

>>8252416
Didn't that autist treat social encounters like a video game?

I remember a couple months ago there was a guy posted a thread about frying food in water

>>8258780
You realize frying food in water is a real thing, right? Are you one of those sharts that needs fatty oil fried foods so much that you deny real science?

>>8258690
not that poster
different mass, same volume
it was clunkily worded but shit just read the goddamn reply chain for context for fuck's sake

>>8258791
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>8250824
Swiss and cheddar are 'literally' the same thing.

Having spent many years working as a kitchen manager in a big chain restaurant that hires basically anyone who will work for under $10/hr, you have no idea how common this is. I'd say probably one in four prep cooks I've trained has done this.

This was me, I have no shame. Thanks for teaching me something while running me through the mud

>>8250831
I swear the more common sense recipes write it as "2 & 1/4 cup(s)" instead of "2 1/4 cups"

This was my favorite reply from the whole thread, again not my proudest moment but hey we're not all perfect. Gotta start somewhere

>>8259814
all the sensible ones would say 2.25, or at least "2¼" without a space.

>>8259819
2¼ is fine but .25 is bound to confuse people.
"What do you mean .25? I don't have a .25 measuring cup."

>>8252429
LOL
