Just saying, a lot of people around the world estimate as well. Most people take a pinch of salt, or a squirt of vegetable oil, or just scoop whatever amount of something they want depending on how they feel. But if you want to be precise and professional, you should measure, especially for something like baking.

Actually our cooking depends a lot on experiences. You have to do a dish a couple of times to have a hold at it. When I learnt cooking something from my mom, she did tell me how much to put in, but only for reference. For example, for seasoning, I taste the food as I go, and based on experience I know what lacks to adjust, so I don't go strictly to recipe. Or for making soups or sauces or cooking meat and veggies, I know when they're done by checking the texture or consistency, not by counting time. My mom is even more superb, she checks temperature of oil by hovering her hand over the pan and by some miracle she knows when it is hot enough! I'm trying to be able to do that too :3 It's kind of hard to explain but practice makes perfect xD

I can relate to this. I have a Filipina “step-grandmother” and I tried to learn to make adobo (A braised chicken or pork dish with soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and bay leaves) I asked for measurements but she taught me the power of Asian eyeballs when it comes to measurement. She just taught me to eyeball everything, I even learned the finger trick for rice from her. Safe to say, I now rarely measure when cooking. The only rice I measure water for is Japanese rice because the ratio is different.

Just came from Mike's Strictly Dumpling channel and I just reminisced on the first video that introduced me to your content. I think it was around 2 years after this video was first published that I came across it. Thanks again for all your free content, may you have have a blessed year in 2021. Jan 6, 2021 (this date is just for my reference)

@ Sofia - you need to place your hand unto the uncooked rice with water until you feel the rice at the tip of your middle finger. similar to what you see in the video. the level of the water should be up to the 2/3 of the middle finger intermediate phalanges form the tip. when it boils, keep heat low until rice is done. if your lid has a hole, yes you may cover it. if not, then keep the lid slightly open. :) (Y)

Sofia Symkanych I don't know about others but, I measure the depth of the rice from the bottom of the pot, and compare it to the depth of water fron the top of the rice layer. The water shoulder be at least the same finger length as the rice. But I usually add a tad bit more water :D

That's literally the Arab style too! "Mama, how do I know much to put in?" Throws in a random handful of rice. "It just feels right, use feeling."
