This has been solid for me and was only $10

 

I always thought this one was pretty cool:

Flat scale preferably, with an option to tare the weight. Just looking to measure out food portions and such for lunches so I eat more evenly throughout the week.

 

Thank you!

Damn that's pretty cool looking Ken maybe I should reconsider! But storage space is a concern so the flat ones would go into my cabinets easier.

 

I typically just use my w**d scale but that doesn't hold much weight and has a very tiny surface. I've always wanted that one, but now that I think about it, I don't have the counter space for it either haha.

 

That's a good use for the scale that I didn't even consider xD

 

edit: goddamn brands on twitter lol

 

If any of them would hire me as their marketing consultant I’d make them stop immediately. That whole shtick was okay for about 4 hours. Maybe.

 

It doesn’t even matter to me what kind of company it is, even if it is like a record label or a music magazine, just fucking stop it

 

I’m so mad right now. I made perfect key lime pie mini bites - 20 of them - but my anxiety after 6 minutes of bake time was like, “what if they’re not set in the middle? I’m gonna leave them in another minute.” .....and then I forgot them. And the egg yolk curdled. And now they’re in the trash and I have no dessert.

I hate baking. Mostly because I’m bad at it hahaha

 

holy hell, for what it's worth...they sounded delicious.

 

I’m going to try again tomorrow! I have all the ingredients still except I zested all my limes. This time I’ll leave them in for 7 minutes to make myself feel better. Also I forgot the salt in the crust in these. Won’t next time haha.

 

thought that said "zooted all my lines" and i was like, what the fuck thread is this

 

as good as i am cooking / grilling, i'm entirely lost baking

 

I have failed the last 4/4 things I have attempted to bake. I had a good streak going before that though haha

 

I've been trying to get into baking more the last couple years or so. It is very daunting though since I can't just kinda wing it like i can sometimes in cooking.

I have found Stella Parks to be a great resource for baking recipes. She does a really good job of explaining why she uses every ingredient, and signs to look for instead of just relying on time when cooking since everyone's equipment and ovens/stoves are different

 

I wish more recipes for baking had ingredient amounts in grams.

 

A lot of basic ovens now, especially those that are also microwaves etc., are bad, that’s part of it

 

Yes! And they really should do all their dry ingredients by weight, as their is such a big difference depending how you measure your "cups" (another reason I really like Stella's recipes, she's the one that taught me this!)

Not to mention that most people (myself included) don't calibrate their ovens so who knows what the temperature actually is.

 

I would also love recipes to have final internal bake temps instead of what the oven should be at. Again, much more accurate.

 

Ive been using ground turkey for literally everything Id normally use ground beef for and Im not really missing it

 

buy an oven thermometer! very cheap and super helpful!

i do this too typically. only exception for me really is a cheeseburger.

 

a good burger is irreplaceable

I have done animal style turkey burgs tho and been extremely happy with them

 

fuck recipes!

 

That sounds good. I've made some turkey burgers filled with cheddar and poblano peppers and those turned out great.
