I don't measure a thing when I cook... I just sprinkle and add stuff until I hear the spirit of my ancestors whisper, that's enough child.

I don't need to wait for my ancestors because my mum's "GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN" usually precedes that following any mishap

I measure. I pour the salt in the palm of my hand, and when it looks about right, I pour it in the soup...🤣🤣🤣

Same & when people ask me for the recipe, I can't make them understand that there isn't one...

this was my mother's method of cooking , handed down to me. It drives my daughter's bonkers lol They measure every to the t

I cook the same way.

yup
that's my style too
eyeball it

Does that work?

Sometimes I do that. It depends on what I'm cooking with. Some spices are easy to work with. Others I measure out but not to a t or anything. I don't measure salt and pepper.

From a chef, that's the difference between cooking and baking. You cook with your taste buds but baking is science. Don't take slot to go wrong with baking

For cooking at home I never measure anything (except in baking) but when I was producing ready-meals and bulk food for cafes I had to maintain consistency.

I just eat the ingredients. Weather you make a sandwich or eat all the parts to a sandwich it still turns into the same poop.

A little of this and a little of that 🌟

I use the force as well, except for baking.

It will work itself out!

I do it with some ingredients and then develop a habit. And then I open a new bottle of oyster sauce and splash two spoons of it without tasting how salty it is first. 🙈 Well, I'll do next time.

Same.

Same. 😌

...my ancestors and I really like pepper. 🤔

That made sense when ingredients were extremely variable.

Mmhm, I cook that way a lot.

I once heard that the best chefs never measure, they just know.
I guess we now know which category you fall into when it comes to your cooking skills.

I ask Ouija

it's tradition 🙏
