STOP FUCKING DOING THIS

There's your problem
>>7484055
So don't use our recipes faggot
>>7484055
Why the fuck would you convert an 8oz cup to grams then ml? Are you kidding me? A cup is 236ml or 8 ounces, wtf you doing with grams?
>>7484114
Is this .gif supposed to support your argument?
It just makes you look like an underaged dumbass
git gud
>>7484145
>measuring solids by volume
>>7484145
But a cup is 227.3045ml
>>7484276
No, it's 240 ml.
It makes it harder for the inferior countries to take our recipes.
>>7484145
>A cup is...8 ounces
8 ounces by weight, or 8 fluid ounces?
>>7484291
A cup is a measurement of volume, so take a wild guess.
>>7484296
>A cup is a measurement of volume
Then what use is that for non-liquids?
Fucking America, man.
>>7484301
You only ever see it used for liquids and powders.
>>7484301
Are you really autistic enough to think that everything needs to be exactly measured out carefully by ml or gram when cooking?
Using cups is fine for the vast majority of recipes since it gets the amount of ingredients in the general ballpark of where they need to be and it all comes out fine in the end anyway.
>>7484055
are you really so fucking lazy you cant just punch it into google
Jesus you yuropoors are worse than indians
>>7484055
>STOP FUCKING DOING THIS
Better men than you have tried to convert the US to metric.
But grams make sense because one cubic millimeter of water weighs a gram
>not measuring your water with a ruler and weighing it
>>7484317
This. Unless you're baking exact measurements aren't necessary.
>>7484055
just don't do US recipes, it's all shit anyway
>>7484325
>he doesn't titrate his oils and vinegars
DO U EVEN MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY BRO
>>7484326
Even when baking it doesn't need to be that exact in most cases.
>>7484326
>Unless you're baking exact measurements aren't necessary.
The dumbest fucking meme of all time
>>7484362
You'll notice that whatever recipe you're reading, even if it's for baking, will round off to convenient quantities depending on the unit used. Cups won't go below a quarter cup, grams will always be in multiples of five, etc. The ratios for different recipes will be quite different just because the recipe is written for a different set of units. This is because absolute precision isn't imperative, and in real world terms are actually just guidelines that you adjust depending on environmental conditions.

>following online recipe written by European
>calls for cups and cups of semen to be mixed into everything
STOP FUCKING DOING THIS
>>7484362
I was always taught to measure exactly for baking but then again I was also taught to never cook beef below medium well so...
>>7484403
What's wrong? Too low test to produce enough semen for a simple chocolate eclair?

You are right, cooking is more art than science
Baking however is more of a science than an art since it DOES require precise measuring at times
>>7484261
>measuring solids by volume
Literally never matters except in baking, sometimes, and any recipe worth following will specify the weight.
>>7484055
A lot of Americans don't have kitchen scales. Deal with it.
>>7484864
Let's start with Australia.

MomAnon here.
>inb4 tits or gtfo
Been on near-obsessively since the Boston Bombings. Yes, I'm an INTJ. I get some good, honest laughs from /b/, love the white knight raids (Jerkin' Joes and the kid who didntknooooo) and think that what was done for Dusty the Cat was an extremely proud moment in the history of 4chan.
Only rarely do I identify myself. It's simply not necessary most of the time. Also don't want to be called attention whore, be flooded with tits or gtfo, or other summer-level bullshit.
I also lurk in /pol/ and /int/. Might have to head over to /fit/ one day, stretch my cables but I just wanted to say you're pretty autistic.
>>7485277
Australians don't have Internet, they don't even have electricity lol australians
Why do you think we use cups as weight measurements? Volume is a legitimate measure for solids.
>>7484864
90% of yuro posters are NEETs living off the government
they have nothing in their lives BUT shitposting
>>7484055
>Dry ingredients
>By volume
The other day I was on a site that had the two systems listed as "metric" and "american".
The level of dumbfuckery from the US is astounding.
Remember: 1 1/2 cup is half a cup.

Butt fucking hurt
i live in canada so i have a fridge magnet with conversions since we don't know what the fuck system we're using
>>7484055
Why don't you just get a fucking measuring cup, faggot?
>>7486092
>takes over the world
>literally no other country uses retarded american measurements or even knows what they are to make relevant calculations
>>7484055
FUCK OFF YUROP
If you're using American recipes that often maybe you should take 2 minutes to figure out the measurements.
Oh wait, you're just shitposting.
>>7486408
The rest of the world doesn't only NOT use Imperial, it literally abandoned it for a better system.
It's not as simple as "Do the conversion kek", you need to remember the conversions for multiple units; tea spoons, tablespoons, cups, pounds, gallons, etc etc.
Shit's needlessly complex, it gets worse in the UK where 1/3 the population uses lbs and ozs, another 1/3 uses ml and g and all these millennial retards who use cups because they get all their recipes from the states make up the last 1/3
Shit's infuriating.
>>7486462
which other countries use ounces for liquid?
>>7484055
Stop being so salty or you'll ruin whatever you're making.
>>7484055
What the fuck are you talking about? If it says a cup, then you just have to use a fucking cup. How is that even remotely hard to understand? Don't you have cups in your house? I am from yurop and everyone I know uses cup as a measurement for cooking, even my grandma.
>recipe has liquid by weight
Why?
>>7484055
>following american recipe
so what are you trying to do, deep fry a butter bar? or deep fry a coca cola maybe? or is it mac n cheese?
The uk is retarded in the way that they use everything in metrics but measures distance/speed in miles.
>>7486530
Don't forget about stones, the most retarded unit of measurement used anywhere.
