On this subject, can an American please tell me what a spoonful is? There is a great video series on youtube, with his recipes online, but all measurements are spoonful: https://www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/p... Spoons can vary in size, so is it a tablespoon or a teaspoon? When dealing with spices you'll be adding 3 times the amount if you go with tablespoon interpretation so it'd be a pretty bi…
Really you just cook to your taste. Cooking isn't a science experiment. Like step 5 says, taste it and adjust. The foods already cooked by the time your adding the spices
That's a really bad advice to give beginners. If you're lucky, you'll guess right the first time, and end up with a good dish. And then you'll use that.
If you're unlucky — and the more inexperienced you are the more unlucky you are — then you'll guess wrong, and your dish will be at best okay, and at worst inedible.
A few failed experiments like this, and you'll hate cooking, or approach cooking with fear. Recipes have to be very precise, because recipes are aimed at people who are new: new to cooking or new to the dish.

#233> Only Based cooking. Can someone shed light on what "based cooking" is? It's rather tricky to Google for and am unable to figure out what the site's author means by that.
Top definition on Urban Dictionary:
"The quality of having an opinion without regard for what other people think, often a controversial opinion but not always."
In this context, not having ads or unnecesary javascript is based.

Agreed. I find the tabular format of Cooking for Engineers excellent for this (for example, at the bottom of this brownies recipe: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/158/Dark-Chocolate... ). Julia Child's classic ( https://archive.org/details/JuliaChildMasteringTheArtOfFrenc... ) does something similar in free-form.
I get most of my recipes from YouTube these days. I can see the technique and result, which is valuable, but I make my own notes in a format that suits me, sometimes like Cooking for Engineers (group ingredients, do process, add next group, etc) but usually with a lot of bullet points and terse sentences. Writing my own notes is great for understanding and retention. They get printed out, then tested to earn the righ…

Re: Based Cooking
#235I like the idea of a simple recipe site generally, but I also like reading the user feedback on recipe sites. Is a recipe any good? Are there improvements? There is no way to tell on this site.
having read through them all i’d say the recipes range from ‘fine’ to ‘probably not that great but if you’ve just moved out of your parents home its not a bad place to start’. most of the recipes seem robust and would be hard to really mess up. the salt thing as others have pointed out is nonsense.
having spent many hours scrolling through ad laden recipe sites though i really do appreciate the straight forward approach.

Worth throwing out there that 'based' is a new-ish word and means different things to different people. As I have been discussing in this thread, my understanding of the definition of 'based' is something equal to cringe, or 'unpleasant', and sometimes 'racist'. > 500 words about how much the author loves winter Also discussed in this thread, but it is far from agreed-upon that those extra words are 'cringe'; at leas…
It could be all that, or it could be a reference to Lil B's cooking music (as far as I know he invented the word) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZghGHHBO_nU
No need to guess, just check out the author's youtube channel[0], look at the thumbnails. It's /g/ tier "humor"
Re: Based Cooking
#238Just FYI, the name "based" made me think this was some kind of alt-right thing.
Re: Based Cooking
#239I guess the Proud Boys deserve cookbooks too? The use of the word “based” is almost always a white nationalist whistle or flag. Like flashing the “OK” sign so others know you’re a racist. The first time I saw the word based was the first significant violent attack on a BLM protestor by white supremacist Kyle Chapman in 2017. The Proud Boys klan gave him the honorary title of “Based Stickman”. The author of this cooki…

#240Does anyone else absolutely loath recipes? Using measuring spoons and shit make me feel like I’m doing a homework assignment. No recipes, no measuring for me. Just pour in the shit, do what you think it needs, eat it when you’re done.
Today, that was brown rice, some fried onions and bell peppers, a can of tomatoes, salt and pepper, cayenne, birds-eye, fish sauce, tamari, red wine vinegar, and garlic in the instant pot for 30 minutes.
