[quote=shipoker55]I just realized how OC I am. While making Jello, I measured exactly as the package said. Do you, when you cook, measure spices and such, or just go by instinct??[quote]

Hmmm well, I'm Italian and most of the time I can estimate the amount per the palm of my hand and then will add any additional based on taste preference. So in a sense I do measure but its pased on the palm of my hand.

rolling on the floor laughing Thx for my first morning belly laugh.

As to the original purpose of the thread, for jello, I would measure, can't judge one or two cups by instinct like Claire. If you don't get it right, it's too firm or too soft. Spoonfuls I can do by hand.

blushing What were we talking about again?

I only measure when I bake...other than that I don't see any sense in it. When I make tomato sauce (gravy) everything is done by hand measurements or smell.

Speaking of...I need to make some in the next week.
