Cooking/baking -how do you do it?
Just wondering what measurements you Brits here in canada use. Do you still stick with weight measurements or have you switched over to cups etc.
I love British food magazines and cookbooks but I just am so unfamiliar with weighing stuff that I rarely use any recipes.(I drool over the pictures) I know what 1/4c of butter looks like but 50g completely throws me off. I have bought a cheap scale but it is just hard to change-I try and convery British measurements but that can be time consuming. I am metric in almost everything but I starting cooking and baking in the 70's and am just stuck in my ways. So what do you all use? |

Metricalation was a great fear of my other half when she enrolled in a professional cooking course. She was greatly relieved to find that Canadian schools use imperial foods as she'd been alarmed by the idea of metric pigs and cows. We eat organic where possible and assume there's some sort of genetic modification involved in metriculating crops and animals. We don't want any of that around here. |
