  3. I use very small measurements all the time. Some ingredients are very powerful so if you overdo it you can end up making things worse. Turmeric is a good example. Its very strong in color and flavor so you really only need 1/8th teaspoon or less for most things its added too. Curry would be an exception of course because turmeric is one of the main ingredients in curry.

  6. For sticky ingredients, they make 2 Tbsp adjustable measuring cups. They're perfect for honey and peanut butter. Something like this: http://a.co/d/03wo09e

    I also have that new OXO scale, and the only thing I don't like is that it only has 1 digit of precision in ounces mode. So measuring things like 6 and 3/4 oz is really annoying because you can only see 6.7 and 6.8 oz. When baking, that tends to matter.

  10. I worked at Panera for several years and the headache of dual/conversion measurements was constant.
    Grams, kilograms, liters and milliliters is a much superior method to the chaotic imperial or blended system. imho
    I always use the tare method for scaling measurements as well.

  11. I love watching you talk about cooking and the products you all use in the test kitchen. When getting ready to cook I have problems with the measurements when trying to measure some things in ounces and having to use the metric measurements some authors use when making the recipes.

  15. Absolutely loving the series!

    Please, please do a video on oven temperature distribution in gas fan vs non-fan oven and touch on subjects like multiple bakes etc. I'm convinced it's impossible to bake multiple cakes at once perfectly in a non fan oven

  22. The change to using Metric is already well on it's way… it won't be a change in legislation or something that's government driven to make the complete switch though – instead it will be people and culture driven. So if you want to see a switch to metric, use metric – it's that simple. No one will be offended or butt hurt, and you won't lose viewership over it – every measuring device does both anyway.
