    Lol @ “that is why your cupcakes were dry”. So true but so funny!!!!!!! I need to send my cake students here so they can realize, I am not making this stuff up!

    Very, very true but there are some chefs that compress their flour and then write cookbooks based on this.

    The only answer? Violence.

    I usually measure 5.0oz for a cup for a recipe in cups and it doesn’t steer me wrong, especially for breads. When I started out I used 4.25oz for each cup, and I always had to add more flour for the consistency to be right.

    Thank u Chef John for pointing this out. I always thought I was a lazy cook. I measure everything I can with a scale, even water (1 g per ml) – I just put mixing bowl on the scale then set it to zero before adding anything in (so that I don’t have to wash measuring spoons :p). I felt a bit guilty about it because I don’t seem to be a meticulous and responsible person in kitchen, but now I feel better because scaling everything is the correct and guilt-free way! Yay!!!

    I discovered this a few years ago and it has made all the difference. I usually weigh my flour now. When I make bread I don’t even get out the measuring cups anymore. I use ratios for my bread recipes and it is remarkably consistent.

    @AbstractMan23
    I have an electronic scale and my country uses metric but I still like the cups and spoons. They just make things simpler. Easier to memorize recipes. Sometimes, u don’t have a scale but still want to bake something from scratch. So, the cups come in handy. I’ve even used tea cups :-) Besides, I don’t think 20-30g of flour difference in a regular size cake will alter anything much.

    i find it funny that chef john had to make a video on how to measure flour…i didnt know that, that many ppl did not know how to measure.

    maybe chef john will need to make one on how to measure brown sugar next :o

    Thing is, i have an old analogue scale where it has a bowl on top of a pressure pad which sends a dial round. All i do is fill that until i get the desired weight. No cups for me regarding flour (apart form making it easier to get out of the bag.) But i use the scales as weight rather than volume. I just wonder, does this apply to other products such as sugar as well or is it specifically flour?

    ok i have no idea where to get catalina sauce from here in the ghettos of east London! Can I substitute it with something else?

    I wouldnt try making this notice there is no salt or pepper and the ginger was raw she didnt cook it with the oil a bit before adding the beef. My advice look up another recipe. And the chicken had a over dose of sour cream that has to be like 2000 calories a breast. EWW

    “This is really hot, and I’m ready to put my beef in. Oh yeahhh.”
    Couldn’t agree more.

    the beef and rice looks delicious, but I like to season my meats before cooking. I guess it just a Caribbean thing! thanks for the ideas though :)
