    More ways to measure are always better. It can give you more data as to what works, what doesn’t, and how to reproduce it.

    Simply adding a kitchen scale and a digital temperature kettle has upped my coffee game. A meat thermometer has removed the guesswork from my fish/steaks/roasts/chicken, and they’re perfectly cooked every time. Out of the three, the kettle is the only one that was more than $30 (because I decided to go boojee and get a gooseneck for pourover coffee).

    Also:

    • its a lot easier to add salt/sugar/spice than it is to take it out.
    • Never add directly from the container. Always go container>palm>food. This saves you from accidentally having a runaway seasoning avalanche (see previous point).
