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
I get what you’re saying, but a realistic temperature for cooking only makes sense if you’re familiar with cooking. I’m sure there was someone who was wondering why their cookies weren’t cooking at 175° F or utterly annihilated them at 350° C. It’s just a couple extra characters, anyway.
Sure. As I said, it makes sense to just… not be ambiguous. As for familiarity, I don’t think you really need it? You’ll have an inkling of where the recipe came from and be 90% sure most of the time. If not, searching for one more recipe means it’s suddenly really unlikely to still be unclear. No matter what you want you could search for non-US units to rule out/convert.
Familiarity would mean it’s even easier, you’ll go “of course this is baked at around 175°C like virtually all the other things like it” and almost certainly be right. Although baking is notoriously finicky…
