I cannot be arsed to measure things when I'm cooking something normally. My estimates are quite good enough. However when I am cooking something that I intend to publish then I am ridiculously careful. If I am cooking for testing purposes then I can take like five times as long to make something. When I'm testing I measure *everything* to be sure that the amounts I give in the recipe are roughly the amounts I actually use. This may sound unnecessarily particular, but one of the things people praise my site for the most is that my recipes *work* as written. A surprising number of published recipes don't.
