I have no idea how to visualise how much a "cup of onions" or "cup of carrots" is. Why not just say "one large onion" or "three medium carrots"

Well gee, if only there was some way to solve the problem of innacuracy

why do you need precise measuring for your faggy fridge oats?
why are cups abhorrent but spoons are fine?

Why do you wish less accuracy? What benefit does it bring?
>why are cups abhorrent but spoons are fine?
The tsp measurements are for smaller elements, which can be advujsted for individual taste, this is not a reason as to why the bulk of the ingredients have to be measured using some archaic method akin to stone age technology.

Yeah it's pretty retarded. Since they measure weed in grams, they should also measure all their other herbs and vegetables in grams.

What a retard. Even by 4chan standards, even by the standards of /ck/, you are really, really, really retarded.

>> No.17168962

>>17168934
any """recipe""" that you can eyeball successfully does not need scientifically accurate measures
volumetric ratios are extremely useful in these types of recipes and cups and spoons are a simple way to describe these ratios
i don't know what 40 grams of oats looks like and i don't want to break out the scale when "equal volume milk and oats" will suffice
extra autism and steps doesn't makes your food taste better or you seem less retarded

Complains about retarded measurements, suggests equally retarded measurements in return. I think it's safe to say you are retarded

>i don't want to break out the scale
Just how American are you that weighing out food on a set of scales is too much effort for you?
Can you still see your own genitals? Have you ever been featured on a TV show or local news segment?

If the only recipes you know are those which comprise of cereal and milk, perhaps scales might well be not your thing.

OP you're being fooled. Don't judge america by the shitty internet recipe news articles and soccer moms that follow them or all the shitty fake cooking tv channels. it's all a big bullshit sandwich. that's not how real people who know how to cook do things. I don't ever measure anything. You are being fed multiple false narratives about the nature of reality.

don't trust me or take anything I said as advice.
