Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
calm down sperg

all of these are specific technical terms with well understood usage, what's your problem bby?
>>7291216
Yes there are variables to cooking. This isn't baking.
Your oven or burners might be different. Your measurements don't always have to be exact. Experiment with your cooking and get a taste for what you like. It is not an exact science and perfectionism will only hurt you if you are lacking experience.
>>7291216
To shitpost and meme it up since you have nothing else better to do, obviously.
>>7291227
explain them then
>>7291235
Explain what? Are you completely retarded?

A pinch is as much as you can pick up between your index finger and thumb, a dash is one shake of a shaker or twist of a grinder
25-35 minutes. Exactly what it sounds like, somewhere within that 10 minute period whatever you're making should be done. Learn the signs of doneness for various foods and free yourself from ridged timing
Stir whenever its starting to look like its settled or sticking depending on what your making, probably one good stir where you completely mix it every 5 minutes or so
clearly bubbling but not enough to significantly/regularly disturb the surface of whatever you're cooking
more than a pad (1/8th an inch of a stick of butter) but less than a tablespoon of butter
this is self explanatory. Cut it roughly into half inch squares and fill up a measuring cup
depends on what cut you're using for the exact measurements but lean beef is any beef lower in fat than the standard for that cut. for specifics google is your friend.
Exactly what it sounds like. More heat than required for a simmer but not so much that liquid quickly boils off super fast. It should sizzle but not be so hot that it needs constant movement to prevent burning.
if you can't figure this one out you need more help than I can provide but I guess hot or cold to the touch.
The last one is kinda dumb, feel free to gripe about it.

welp its back to take out for me

Why? cooking really isn't hard if you're willing to do some background reading. Its an art and a science, the only skill you really need is an attention span strong enough to watch something for like an hour max
>>7291263
Just kill yourself.

busu baka gomeneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>not sorry actually
>what do you mean cooking isn't an exact science?
Get your autism checked out anon.

Most of this will be assuaged once your realise there is no absolute precision. Climate, humidity, height above sea level, equipment, and water hardness are examples of factors that result in variation. You need to be able to observe results and adjust accordingly for optimum results.
It's the recipes that give hard quantities that you need to be wary of.
>>7291319
Exactly, learn what goal your trying to achieve and the means to do so. You can adjust as you go to meet that goal once you understand how various ingredients work and respond to each other.

>spent the time to type this out
If you bake with exact measurements you're using science, not love.
