As the title says, it’s mildly infuriating seeing someone say " cook this at 210° " and stuff like that, we are in a international context!! Do i have to put those cookies in the flames of hell or just around the boiling point of water?!
Edit: the cookie thing was just an example and i throw a random number lol
Usually they mean the imperial unit “cup” i fucking hate imperial…also, it’s annoying in this case because you have to guess that it’s the imperial unit and not a random cup
To add insult to injury, a US cup is 236.6 millilitres, while a UK (imperial) cup is 170.48 millilitres. Not even close. There’s a whole lot of other measurements called “cup” too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)
I wanna kms at this point
What size cup is that?
Nobody has ever read cooking instruction and thought “they mean for me to measure this with a mug from my cabinet” lol
No, but they’ve probably thought “what fucking size cup do these twats mean and why can’t they just put an actual measurement”.
I’ll take your word for it. All of my measuring tools have cups on one side and mL on the other. Git gud scrub
