I honestly don't mind things likes pinch and dash as they are clear to be left mainly to the taste of cook. I mind slightly more teaspoons and tablespoons but I also can usually see them as "add at least a bit, up to you". The worst offenders are cups, as they often measure large quantities, which often do make or break a recipe. Even just the way you use that cup to collect the ingredients changes the resulting quantity. On the other hand, whenever the amounts don't matter but you want to get there fast and then you know you will adjust it yourself, cups are surprisingly nice. It gets you there 90% and then you adjust for consistency or taste. Of course, using cups for liquids is generally fine if you don't want super precision, it's the dried ingredients which must have weight tied to them. | ||||||||
