when you cook do you measure you stuff or not?

At our middle school all the kids take shop and home ec like courses and my 13 year old son gets really mad when I don't measure perfectly like they do at school when we bake at home.

[Disneymommyof2]

Eye ball for the most part, unless its baking

If it's a new recipe that would totally flop on me because of precise measurements, then yes, otherwise.....

I am trying to lose weight so I measure everything, even while cooking.

Baking - I measure
Cooking - I wing it

Baking - always
Cooking - usually. The first time I'll measure to give the recipe a fair shot. After that, it depends on what the ingredient is. Or I may use the appropriate measuring spoon to get close, but not obsess over whether it's level.

Oh no, I am soooo toast when Disdadnmi read this post. I knew as soon as I read it I was going to hear about it. No! No! No! I don't measure. Most things turn out ok, I think I am pretty good at it.

I never measure exactly. When baking I use a one cup scoop for flour, etc. and eyeball the fractions.
