What's the problem? You can't divide it into four portions, refrigerate three of them, and eat the rest during the week?

>>7098320
Not too bad if it's by weight or liquid volume. Most measuring cups and electronic scales also measure freedom units. What's actually annoying is when they measure stuff like flour by volume.

None of you gits ever heard of a freezer?

Eating leftovers instantly makes you a pleb. Classy patrician one percenters only eat freshly made food for every meal and always throw the rest away.

Depends on the bullet some can serve 2 even 3

Divide the measurements by 4, mongoloid.

(amount of ingredients)/4 = recipe that serves 1 person
>>7099016
be a man, make the recipe as printed and eat the whole god damn thing yourself

If you are that stupid, just make the recipe, and freeze the rest for later

>Right, so how do I measure 1/4 of a teaspoon? Or 1/4 of a tablespoon?
Buy a set of measuring cups/spoons. Mine has a 1/4 tea and tablespoon on it.
>>7098365
I've no idea how people can eat the same shit 2 days in a row. Let alone 3+
Frozen/Reheated food is objectively terrible.

You're gonna have a bad time with your wallet if you refuse to ever eat leftovers.
>>7098370
You have four choices you fucking retard:
1.) Cook the recipe as written and eat it all
2.) Cook the recipe as written and put the leftovers in the fridge for later
3.) Cook the recipe as written and throw out whatever you don't eat
4.) Divide all the amounts by 4 and then follow the rest of the instructions

Why the fug would you need to measure a 1/4 teaspoon, tablespoon or pinch of salt anyway? MAYBE if youre baking, you MIGHT need to measure a 1/4 tablespooon.....
>>7099393
dohohoho
>>7099415
I mean, I have measuring spoons that go down to 1/8 tsp. And 1 tbsp = 3 tsp so 1/4 tbsp would be 3/4 tsp which is pretty easy to estimate using a 1 tsp measuring spoon. A pinch of salt is a pinch of salt though, just guesstimate and sprinkle a bit on there. OP is just being an unreasonable idiot.
>>7099016

For fuck's sake, any decent set of measuring cups is going to have 1/2 and 1/4 measurements. Stop being a whiny faggot.

You're doing it wrong. I suggest you figure out how to operate at at least the capacity of a 10 year old before you start actually cooking.

>how do I measure 1/4 of a teaspoon? Or 1/4 of a tablespoon?
fill the spoon ¼ full or use a proper set of measuring spoons.
> How do I measure 1/4 of a pinch of salt?
one pinch is ⅛ of a teaspoon, so ¼ pinch is 1/32 of a teaspoon or a "smidgen" on gimmicky salt measuring spoon sets.

What's the matter? You too stupid to divide the recipe by four, or to make the whole recipe and save the leftovers?

Hello Simon!
>>7099016
If you have a proper teaspoon measure, it will either have markings, a separate spoon for 1/4 tsp or it will have a perfect prismatic shape allowing you to simply fill it up a 1/4 of the way.
If not, use a tsp and just put a bit of stuff on it.
>>7099016
>not owning measuring spoons up to 1/64
>>7099425
If you're making such small portions that need such precise measurements why even bother using measuring cups, just weigh shit out it's 100x easier/more accurate with less clean up.
