Cooking is an activity that requires special skills. To produce delicious and perfect taste in food, there are a number of techniques that need to be done. Especially if the food will be sold or served to many people.
Until now, many people still cook relying on recipes . However, quite a few also use spices according to taste when cooking. Even though it can produce a delicious taste, adding spices or ingredients without clear measurements can change the taste. Especially if you intend to re-cook the food.
Well, a number of people will usually weigh every spice and food ingredient they want to cook. This process is often carried out by chefs or cooks who want to serve food to many people. In order to maintain consistency of taste, weighing each spice and ingredient can be an important key so that your restaurant, restaurant or catering business remains consistently delicious.
Unfortunately, it cannot be denied that weighing spices and ingredients one by one is quite troublesome. Especially if you want to cook a lot. Apart from being complicated, weighing the ingredients and spices one by one will take more time.

Luckily, Chef Elin once shared a trick to make this easier. Through his upload on TikTok, this graduate of MasterChef Indonesia season 5 admitted that there is a simple trick so that the taste of dishes remains consistent without having to weigh them one by one. "One of the important elements so that food is always delicious is consistency. So, how can you always be consistent? Invest in this tool, a scale. So, I want to make fried rice, I grammage (weigh it). Between the rice and seasoning both "I'll definitely gram it. For example, if you have a lot of orders, how long will it take to gram one by one," said Chef Elin via account quoted by BrilioFood TikTok @elinsulivan on Wednesday (31/7).

So the first thing to do is prepare the spices. In the video, Chef Elin gives an example when he wants to cook fried rice. He admitted that he had prepared ground spices packaged in plastic. Well, these packaged spices have been weighed beforehand. Therefore, the seasoning can be used immediately when you want to use it. This will keep the spice measurements right and the taste delicious.

Apart from spices, Chef Elin also prepares the rice to be used. If he doesn't have time to weigh the rice, he can simply prepare a bowl that is the right size for the container used to weigh the rice before. So, for example, in one portion, a full bowl of rice is used. So when he wants to cook again, he will use that bowl or another bowl of the same size. Then the amount of rice just needs to be equal to before. "Or you can use bowls that are exactly the same size. OK, the bowl is full, just pour it in, stir it, stir it," he explained further.
