First, the most critical proportion is arguably between flour and liquid. You may have noticed that directions vary widely regarding measuring flour sifted, unsifted or by weight. Next, if you watch a master baker, you'll notice that even after meticulous measurement, after mixing there'll often be the addition of small amounts of liquid or flour in order to get the consistency just right (based on that person's experience). Speaking as someone who, when it comes to measuring ingredients can almost put Mr. Monk to shame -- in the final analysis, the experienced hand and eye of the baker has to trump the graduations on the side of measuring vessels. So, I'd say that you two are both right, in the perspectives from which you are respectively arguing.

FWIW the best chefs only use measures in approximation and often just use their experienced eye to throw the ingredients together, yet they cook food that is invariably delicious. An example is the maverick wine slurper Floyd. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/titles/clip10.shtml http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...051575-1631925 and Jamie Oliver http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/chef_biogs...l#jamie_oliver Huw |

Jaime's funny but a 6.3 has far greater entertainment value. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home page: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |

But, since you seem so inclined to be childish about this whole thing (and you seem to be the only one who is) why don't you let the rest of us in on your vast experience in the culinary field. Like, where have you cooked, and for how long. I realize that honesty may not be your forte, but I would be interested in your response nonetheless. We probably all would. |
