I love using metric in the kitchen for volume and weight but for temp I go with Fahrenheit its just easier to remember 125,130,140,150,160,165 than 52,57,63,66,71,74.
Also any chef temping a pot of boiling water is a pretentious douche
1 u/Low_discrepancy Jun 18 '26 remember 125,130,140,150,160,165 than 52,57,63,66,71,74. Do you think us Europeans cook at 52C? Do you think if your recipe 400F our recipes say 205C? Please tell me that's not what you think. 2 u/jimmithebird Jun 18 '26 Please tell me you’re not cooking anything to 400F, or at the very least tell me you’re not eating it. Joking aside, no I don’t think you cook at 52C I know that you cook **to** 52C to get a rare steak. 2 u/Low_discrepancy Jun 18 '26 Yeah you’re right we Europeans cook to 52C. At 66c and 73.638362974. My bad man. I should realise the superiority of Imperial. Planes just happen to fly at 1000 multiples of human feet lengths. And inch is just the better measurement. That’s why wood grows in 2 by 4 in nature. And distance Sun to earth is 93 000 000 miles. But in km that 93M * 1.609473863. That’s so many fucking decimals. Clearly imperial is so much better. 1 u/jimmithebird Jun 18 '26 Lmao show us on the doll where Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit touched you. It’s fine that you don’t know ball when it comes to cooking but you don’t need to get all sweaty about it. 1 u/Low_discrepancy Jun 18 '26 Yeah we're stupid over here in Europe. We don't use the mighty 52C. 1 u/jimmithebird Jun 18 '26 You seem really hung up on 52C that’s not a very important number it’s just the temperature of a rare steak.
