Yes, lots of the seemingly odd wire sizes are really AWG. It wouldn't be so bad if they did standardise to rounded AWG sizes, say 0.33mm2, 0.2mm2, but the EU probably won't do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge#Tables_of_AWG_wire_sizes |

The reason for weighing the liquids is simplicity: why dirty a measuring cup when you already have the scale out to weigh the flour? (Measuring flour by volume is a fool’s errand, and it’s quite telling that professional bakers in USA go by weight, not volume.) So you just add an ingredient, tare the scale, add the next ingredient, tare again, etc. --- End quote --- What I meant is that you might sometimes set out some of your ingredients into measured portions in an intermediary container, e.g. a bowl or a cup or even (gasp!) a measuring cup, before adding them into the cake batter. If you pour the milk from the carton into the batter and you overshoot the mark, you can't undo it very easily. :-// --- End quote --- With practice, you learn how to dispense ingredients without overshooting beyond a reasonable tolerance. ;) |
