    Sure it is

    You can teaspoon the shit out of everything. 3tsp to a table. 5ml to 15ml. Cut recipes by turning everything into a tablespoon. Need to make 1/2 of something that is already 1/4 cup? That’s 16 tbsp to a cup, so you were at 4, now half a 1/4 cup is simply 2 tbsp

    For dry shit, get a gram scale and welcome to consistency city

      I didn’t know the conversion for tbsp to cups, that’s super helpful!

        Google assistant has gotten worse and worse but “Hey Google, how many tablespoons are in x” is pretty helpful

          Or use DuckDuckGo

          Or use the terminal app qalc, which converts and calculates with everything!

            Does that plug into assistant speakers?

            I’m not a massive fan of it but hands free cooking questions are nice. I use DDG for my browser search

              I’m sure some open hardware hacker could get DuckDuckGo or qalc to work through their home-soldered voice-controlled assistant.

              But other than that, no. For what it’s worth, I spend 2 to 3 seconds for each conversion through the terminal when preparing a recipe, or about 15 seconds unlocking my phone and looking it up in DDG on the spot
