Fuck everyone who uses canned beans. You deserve death.

1/2 cup dry beans is a 15 oz can
>I only use fresh food from the local market
>recipe uses a can of campbell's
>recipe measures in volume instead of weight
>>7628447
Standard cans contain 240g of cooked beans.
I mean, you're not going to cook up such a small amount of beans for a recipe anyway, right.
The water content depends on the variety but what you want to do is calculate the ratio of the calories between dry and canned and just multiply your dry bean by that.

it's a funny movie you fucking mysoginist
>>7628500
What I want is for people to not use fucking canned beans so I don't have to calculate shit.
>>7628496
I think the premise of that movie is that she's pretending to be his blind date, so she'd sort of have it coming, yeah.

Canned beans are great, not everybody has time to boil dry beans to shit for hours and then somehow portion them and freeze them, wasting valuable space

>>7629203
But just soaking beans doesn't get them to the same consistency. You have to rinse cook and let sit for several hours before they are good

1 cup is usually the size of a tea/coffee mug, that's what I use when I don't have any clean measuring tools around,

>recipe calls for a can of tomato puree
Like how large? fuck. tomato puree comes in sizes of 90ml, 200ml, 450ml, 950ml and 1.4L. I used the 950ml can and it tasted like tomato soup. fucking shit.
>>7630563
Well now you know to use either the 450 or the 200, learn from your mistakes.
>>7629197
That's mostly because a kitchen scale is considered drug paraphernalia, the possession of which is a great way to end up in prison.
>>7628388
Use these, it doesn't matter.
you can do it, professor utonium. i believe in you.
>recipe calls for one clove of garlic
One clove is never enough, unless its how to cut a clove of garlic. Even then it should call for at least three cloves.
I will always use the canned versions of beans for chili. It's too cheap and too convenient not to. It's the meat and spices that I really care about anyway.

>>7630740
If I'm cooking something from "scratch", I find the only way I'm really satisfied is by setting up an accurate simulation of the universe, and letting it run up until our current time such that everything in the simulated universe is the same as our universe but in the simulation I have cooked the item in question. It takes a few goes to get right.
>>7630563
Why'd you pour in the whole thing, you could have done a quarter of the can, and if needed, added more to suit your tastes.

You should just keep an empty can of beans and use it as a measuring cup
>>7631998

Plenty. Stuffing, croutons, french onion soup...
>>7628447
How is it possible that you're into cooking enough to prepare your own beans yet you are incapable of estimating size/volume for recipes?

>> weather reports in recipes
You say this mockingly, but somewhere we have a box of old index card recipes from one of my aunts that included something like an early version of bakers percentages for the ingredients, complete with adjustments for rainy days and dry weather.

I honestly have a real 'tic' when it comes to using canned ingredients of any kind. I just can't do it. No matter what the recipe even if it calls for something like canned tomato which is perfectly good.
I've tried so, so hard to get over this fucking fear. I spent $20 on San Marzano tinned tomatoes to use in recipes and ended up having a breakdown halfway through cooking myself some Shakshuka. Ended up walking into the street at fucking 11pm in my pajamas and throwing the tins of tomato onto the floor until they exploded while making loud roaring noises because I felt I had to release my inner chef again after using pre canned produce.
I wish I didn't have this tic because regular tomato is much more expensive and doesn't last as long. It also means I have to avoid recipes using things like coconut milk due to sheer inconvience.
>>7632605
are you okay with jars?
maybe try therapy. it's not just for psychopaths.
>>7632605
You're an idiot. There's nothing wrong with using canned products when the fresh product is out of season. Just make sure you buy quality certified stuff and it's good to use.

Do you have OCD? I do and it fucking sucks. A few days ago I mentally freaked out because my pan had a scratch on it, my mind instantly registered it as "not a pan" anymore.
