Cooking- do you measure?

I measure for baking. Baking recipes are often very scientific and each ingredient serves a specific purpose. But if I am cooking, I hardly ever measure, especially if i've made the recipe before. I NEVER measure for potato salad or spaghetti sauce. In fact, my standard for potato salad is "does it taste like moms?". She never measures, either.

I do, usually, but sometimes I just eyeball the measurements, espeially when it is not that important in items such as spaghetti sauce and others where you can give or take to your liking, but when it comes to baking cakes, cookies and pies I always measure everything accurately.

The only time I measure is when I am baking. When I am making dinner or a salad I wing it. so far I havent messeed up.

hahaha, nice one. I have never measured anything in my cooking for about 30 years, if it looks right, it probably is. Thats my philosophy blessed be

If I am cooking something new or just don't want to mess it up I will measure. Normally on a day to day basis though I just eyeball it out.

a lot of the time i just wing it. I cook a good bit so i can look at something and know about how much is there.

I measure everything and my husband just laughs at me. He can cook good and never uses a measuring piece of cooking equipment. He will add stuff and then say that tastes great or that could use a little more of something. Me I am the measuring queen.
