Precision - a consideration

Well, I am Swiss, we have a love for precision. So does this book, which is something I love about it.

The Zero book is written in grams, forcing you to use a scale. However, do not fear, it is actually a lot easier to use a scale than it is not to use it. All my scales, even the cheap $11 one, have a tare function, which let’s you reset the weight to zero with each measurement. So you keep the same bowl on the scale and keep going.

The other thing us Swiss people like to measure is time. I have a collection of timers, which I use extensively. I even time 30 seconds for searing tuna, per side. I like the fact they give me the freedom to go about my other business while they time my cooking for me
