Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 8 months agoI do this, and my brother who is an amateur chef thinks it’s witchcraft. Baking is not hard to eyeball or make by feel people.
I can do this with no problem while cooking or baking how my WIFE cannot. If something doesn’t have a recipe defined down to a gnats ass then she looses confidence and nearly always screws it up.
I’m sure it’s trainable but some people just have the ability and others don’t. Different people / different gifts and all that.

As someone who once subbed cayenne 1:1 for black pepper in spaghetti sauce, and who has learned to make my own breadcrumbs from failed sourdough, I promise it’s a learned skill. It just takes letting yourself fail a lot and not taking yourself too seriously.
