Measuring when cooking
I'm just curious...when your cooking to use a measuring cup or do you just eyeball it?

Re: Measuring when cooking
I use a measuring cup when I'm cooking something like rice or couscous, where the ratio of water to grain is pretty important.
Most other things, I eyeball it. I'm a pretty good cook so I've mastered it at this point.
Baking though - total different world. You gotta measure everything!

Re: Measuring when cooking
First time I make something from a recipe I measure, then later on I can adjust for my own taste.
Baking - exact measurements.
Cooking - I eyeball it, unless as PearlJamChick noted, somethings have to be measured exactly.
