sometimes my mind is a strange place. this popped in when making pancakes this morning:

You're thinking "Did he measure three tablespoons or only two?"
Now to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement.

But being this is a Le Crueset measuring spoon, the most accurate measure in the world and will blow your meal to the next level, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?"

Well, do ya, cook?

    Bro... forum much? Measuring/weighing ingredients is for amateurs. Live a little. (Unless we're talking about baking. That's different.)


















    Humor and/or sarcasm don't always transmit across the ether well, so I hope you realize I'm kidding.

    My All-Clad measuring spoons will make it seem like your Le Crueset spoons aren’t even worthy of measuring ingredients for play-doh.

    They are about as accurate as your measuring cup.

    I weigh for repeatability…the real consistent is salt …1-1.25% for “ seasoning “1.5-3% for “ curing “ otherwise I am in the @caliking camp

    I have firsthand experience to prove that pancakes made from scratch without baking powder are literally flatter than a pancake.

    I use the measuring spoons the first time with a new recipe but add lib. No such thing as too much garlic, onion paprika, cumin, and what greasy portagee would measure out 1/8 tsp allspice
