    Wow, their teacher is doing a TERRIBLE job teaching them. Maybe shouldn’t have wasted so much time on washing and started with basics like measurements and safety.

    I always get confused by tsp and tbs. I have to stop and think which is which. Metric cookbooks where ingredients are measures in grams and milliliters are both more confusing and less. As in how many cups of flour equals 250 grams?

    Is the “33” a reference to Gerald Johannsen from “Hey Arnold”, perchance?

    I pretty much never measure the salt.

    Since the measuring spoons use the same markings as the recipe (tsp, Tbsp), how does she recognize that the measuring spoon she used is a tablespoon but not know which marking it has? Is she dyslexic, or only paying half attention when the teacher went over it?

    I see, she transposed the ingredients to read ‘1 TBSP’. I assumed it was a recipe I hadn’t seen before. An entire tsp of soda would have overwhelmed the flavour, from the other day, imagine what a tbsp would do.

    We’re rooting for ya kid.

    More like 1896, when standardized measurements were popularized by Fannie Farmer in her “Boston Cooking-School Cookbook”, which was originally sold with cups and spoons.

    Maybe she can recycle it as soft crackers.

    Steenz has been giving recipes on Sundays so this week have been about common cooking mistakes people make who have not taken a cooking class and think they know what to do. So #1 is that you don’t cook on a dirty counter top. #2 is Pay Attention to the directions. Baking Soda and Baking Powder are different things, so are Tbsp and Tsp. #3 is that baking something at 500 degrees for 10 minutes is not the equivalence of baking something at 250 degrees for twenty minutes.

    I was lucky enough to have a Grandma around to teach me how to measure and cook. And to read the directions in the cookbook even if they were shortened to tsp. and tbsp. I don’t think I could handle metric measuring. Grams just leave me bewildered. How in the world would you even measure a tsp. or tbs. in grams? None of my kitchen utensils, outside of recent measuring cups, even have metric measurements on them.
