Peel one cup of butter then add pinch of egg and stir counterfootwise at 363 degrees and serve immediately cold.
I just want to make cookies :(

Congratulations, you’ve just created the most confusing recipe ever.
Hope@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Pfffft as though we’d be so sane as measure flour by weight instead of volume

Is the UN pushing imperial or something?

Bonus points if they get to shit on Americans at the same time.

Ha ha yeah like when they can’t tell the difference between the UN and the EU lol

There is no pride in understanding a nonsensical system of measurements.
Empathize with stupidity and you’re halfway to thinking like an idiot

You don’t care about that, you just want to feel superior.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Imagine being so small-minded that you refer to everything you don’t understand as nonsense.
And thanks for the quote. Don’t worry, I have no empathy for you.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Imagine feeling actual hatred toward a system of measurement.
lime@feddit.nu 1 week ago
you would be a bit peeved as well if one guy in a lecture hall with 150 people constantly asked you to convert every measurement in your talk to something only that guy understands.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Okay but that has literally never happened. That’s an absurd scenario you just proposed, you understand that, right? That’s just a situation you made up to make yourself mad, like a toddler.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Maybe the problem is that the units are actually US customary and you’re dicking up all of your conversions

LMAO cookies are made at 350 or below due to high sugar content
Your pathetic european gas mark stove probably can’t heat below 375
Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
In Europe ovens are usually electric and can be set to any temperature up to ~300°C
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
yeah I don’t think ours can be even heated to 420 :( fireplace it is then
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 week ago
375 F = 190.55 C
300 C = 572 F
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
well I’ll throw it in the fireplace then just like in the olden days
hOrni@lemmy.world 1 week ago
At least an oz is easily measurable. It’s worse, when they tell You to add a cup of something.
suzune@ani.social 1 week ago
How? I have cups in my kitchen, but no oz’es.
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 week ago
Are you using an American, Canadian, British or metric cup ?
Because they are all different measurements.

A cup is about 230 ml, so that’s a little less than a standard drinking glass of 250 ml

problematicPanther@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I prefer using volumetric measurements like cups or teaspoons when baking. Liters or ml would also work.
SwordInStone@lemmy.world 1 week ago
why?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Not op, but for small quantities, volumetric is usually more accurate. I know a teaspoon of yeast weighs about 3 grams, but most cheap kitchen scales can’t really be trusted until you’re measuring 10 grams or or more. A teaspoon of dried oregano is so light it probably doesn’t even register on most cheap kitchen scales.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Hmmm yes flour is packed or unpacked? How dense?
haerrii@feddit.org 1 week ago
For some recipes unpacked and measured by bulk density.
For other recipes you gotta do a slightly overfull cup measured by tamping density.
Figuring out how to measure in which situation is left as an excecise to the reader.
redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
Never understood how full a spoon should be
shasta@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Oh you want fluid ounces
punkwalrus@lemmy.world 1 week ago
One revolution I have realized in baking is the recent trend to start talking about weight and not volume in recipes for certain dry ingredients like flour. Three cups of fluffy sifted flour is a lot less flour than three cups of densely packed flour. Same with brown sugar, or wondering if you need a “flat teaspoon” vs. a “heaping teaspoon” of something.
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
Yep, only liquids should be measured in volume, since liquids do not compress
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 week ago
Yep, everything in weight. It works so well.
blackbelt352@lemmy.world 1 week ago
For using volume measurements (weighs are still superior tho) flour shouldn’t be packed in but spooned into the measuring device and leveled with the back of a knife but brown sugar should be packed into the measuring device.
In recipes, they’ll call for a heaped teaspoon or tablespoon, everything else is implied to be leveled, especially leavening agents like baking powder/soda. There’s also an understanding that certain things don’t need as much precision, like adding in flavoring extracts.
nawordar@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
There is a Polish website kalkulatorkuchenny.pl, where you type, say, 1 teaspoon of sugar (łyżeczka cukru) and it will convert it to mass, volume, spoon and number of glasses. I’m pretty sure, there is an English language alternative, but didn’t find any
Opisek@lemmy.world 1 week ago
These are approximations are best. Not every flour type has the same density and even the same type can differ as the thread op pointed out.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
I assume flour can have a lot of moisture weight to it, which may change depending on the location or season. Weight is still the better measure, but still not perfect.
