Scientists of Lemmy, how would you standardize or improve cooking recipes? (lemmy.ml)

I'm sick of having to look up what country an author is from to know which variant of teaspoon they're using or how big their lemons are compared to mine. It's amateur hour out there, I want those homely family recipes up to standard!

What are some good lessons from scientific documentation which should be encouraged in cooking recipes? What are some issues with recipes you've seen which have tripped you up?

I thought SI Unit for volume is m3

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 2 points 18 hours ago

True, but square and cubic units are inconvenient due to the way prefixes work. Use liters to solve that problem.

same thing, one cubic centimeter is one ml

But 1L is not 1m³

Liters are non-SI

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

1L is 1dm³ (10cm³)

They aren't "official" SI units but i'd much rather see liters then teaspoons

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah I would also preffer liters even over m³. Was being pedantic on you saying it's the same thing

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

To be completely pedantic, neither of those are SI compliant. A quantity-unit combination is not a single word and the two should always be separated by a space.
