What's your favorite volume measure? Mine's 1/2 cup or 125 ml. So handy.

Even better, add emotions!

Season with salt until it tastes angry.

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

The definition was actually for 4 °C, the point at which water is most dense. At 20 °C the density of water is about 0.997 g/mL. However, we don't use water to define the metric system anymore, so even at 4 °C - or more precisely 3.983035(670) °C - water is not exactly 1 g/mL.

Or an Indian way: season with chilli until Europeans cry...

I see what you did there.

A liter of water's a pint and three quarters

[postprocess@lemmy.world]

Two are clearly the same size as well...

[sanguinepar@lemmy.world]

A pint. Preferably of a nice cold lager, but I'm open to suggestions.

"Add flour until its not really sticky anymore" is basically what my great grandmother's donut recipe says. Thanks! At least the rest is normal! Wait no it's also includes "one cans worth" which is so bad. Shrink on cans is so bad.

"a bowl" of flour

Trying to interpret old recipes is a pain

Oh wait, favorite, half gallon; in the imperial system half gallon is the sweet spot in which my brain effortlessly translates to any other measure. Not the gallon, that's far too many cups.

Imagine having to fill a 5 gal bucket using a 100ml container.

My grandma's recipe for Spätzle (egg-based noodles) is: "You start with the amount of eggs you need for the amount of people, add a bit of water, a pinch of salt and then flour until it has the right consistency." Her recipe for pancakes is basically the same.

5 gallons is circa 19 liters. So when the liquid is water, then you don't need to use the 100 ml container. 1 liter of water weights 1 kilogram, so put the 5 gallons bucket on a scale and pur in 19 kilograms of water.

Idk usually I just use either a scale or estimate. Cooking is pretty much all vibes based. The only thing I even measure is coffe in g and stuff for baking in 10s of g.
