Why can't we switch to metric?

>>510295823 (OP)
nothing's stopping you from using it.

>>510295823 (OP)
So you think the imperial counterpart of grams is cups?

Volume and weight are both useful measures in the kitchen
As per your example, weighing salt is insane, use a spoon

>>510295823 (OP)
Cup is a measure of volume
Gram is a weight
It would be better with 120ml, also 1 cup is ~250ml

>>510295997
It's not?

>>510295823 (OP)
>measuring ingredients

>>510295823 (OP)
we still use cups and spoons etc. for cooking
only baking needs exact measurements like grams

>>510295823 (OP)
Flour isn't *that* compressible, the difference would be negligible

>>510295823 (OP)
What cup? How big is this cup

>>510296318
Its 1 cup, stupid.

>>510296263
It is not. And a lot of European recipes would be like "a cup of flour", "a cup of sugar", "a tablespoon of salt", etc.
It depends on how precise the author of the recipe intended it to be.

>>510296377
2 cups one girl, or two girls 1 cup?

>>510295823 (OP)
use a measuring cup and a food scale and all your cooking problems are solved

jesus fucking christ people are fucking braindead idiots

>>510296263
Cup to milliliter, gram to ounce

>>510295823 (OP)
>volume vs weight
Fucking american education

>>510295823 (OP)
Real cooks can eyeball the ingredients without even looking.

dude, you're literally measuring the distance with your foot, so why not measure the amount of sugar with your foot?

>>510295823 (OP)
>that pic
You spoon the flour into the cup, then level it off with a butterknife (this is why Imperial is illegal in Europe). If you don't know this, you shouldn't be trying to make anything.

>>510296496
Yes

>>510296281
You should.
Let's say you managed to cook the perfect ratio, but didn't bother keeping track, then you would never reach perfection again.
>I use my sixth sense
Lmao, you put ketchup on your hotdog, you aren't cooking.

Because I hate europeans and third worlders, imperial is fine.

>>510296263
It's not.

>>510296318
250 ml.

>>510295823 (OP)
I know both but, imperial today, imperial tomorrow, imperial forever.

>>510295823 (OP)
Using measuring cups is an entirely different philosophy, it has very little to do with imperial vs metric. Nothing stops you from using standardized measuring cups with metric, and nothing stops you using weighing scales with imperial.

>>510295823 (OP)
Baking is science but cooking is an art.

>>510296970
>all cooking recipes follow a "perfect ratio" of 1/2, 1/3 of whatever
I have eyeballed for years and shit *only* doesn't turn out when I fuck up with timing the oven or something. 99% of cooking is just not over/under cooking something. Recipes are for the low IQ. They're dumber than Ikea instructions.

You have brown skin

>>510296281
You can't eyeball your way through baking. Kitchen scale or don't try at all.

>>510295823 (OP)
not just metric. Weight. Volume sucks. Give me grams or give me death.

>I put porkchops in the oven and think I'm cooking
lmao

>>510295823 (OP)
uhh, how much is that in football stadiums and big macs?

>>510296836
you spoon the flour and that's how many tablespoons cause your spoon is from the table xd

I'd take metric over guns any day.

Americans cannot handle 250 millicups. Their fingers are too fat and they can barely count to 10 anyway.

>>510297971
I put my cock up your ass and you think we're "making love" so it checks out.

>>510297956
you're gonna measure the volume retard ?

A pinch of salt.
Or I use my drug dealer scale when precision is required (tobacco casing juice, ice cream).

its called a spoon retard

>You have brown skin
Measuring things precisely and not just approximately slopping stuff together is what whites do anon

>>510299157
I didn't ask what people do what, Anon, I said you have brown skin and therefore "we" doesn't make sense in this context.

you're all doin it wrong

>>510298757
You might be a homo.
Get yourself checked.
I hope you get better soon.

>>510295823 (OP)
Gay strawman post. Measuring by mass is essential for baking. Only a total retard who doesn't know what they're doing just scoops out flour
