Re: And the active chem nerd steps up. (none / 1)

Those are teaspoons? Or tablespoons?

Hey, don't chem nerds just have simple tools to weigh stuff in grams? (Like quaint Yurpeens do, in their kitchen?)

Come back after shower. :-D

This butter problem was a conversion to TEASPOONS!! NOT ... I emphasize ... NOT Tablespoons (the bigger guys.) I'll do the flour (in a bit) to T(ablespoons)

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I need you to convert bushels of corn into metric tons. You'll need the density refs again. It's fascinating.

Re: And the active chem nerd steps up. (4.00 / 2)

The only people I once knew who had scales to weigh gram size things were selling weed and the like (decades ago in college). I don't weigh anything when I cook. And Truffles says "Hello" to all her European fans.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
