I’m saying the point of the recipe being “one fan of this” or “package of that” is conscience so that you don’t have to measure out a bunch of different ingredients. If you are making 3 meals for 5 people every day, it’s a lifesaver to just crack open two cans into a bowl, a package of something else, and a stick of melted butter and call it a day.

I have a tiny 5ft fridge in a 15sq ft kitchen. I barely have enough space in my frodge for my essentials, so what am i supposed to do with an ounce of something that came in a can? I’ll have to buy another can of it, which will now leave me with 2 ounces the next time. Home cookbooks call for ingredients to be used in the quantities you buy them in, because no one cares how much cream of mushroom you put in your casserole, or if you used 450g of green beans vs 700. I’m not wasting a storage container or valuable food space on a small amount of leftover ingredients that could have just gone into my dinner without anyone noticing. That seems much better than just letting it sit in my fridge for 2 weeks before being theown away
So what’s your plan to do with the remainder of the can if you don’t use the full thing? Your casserole will be fine if you just do the whole can
Did you plan on only using 4/5 of the can of whatever if the weight didn’t match up? What the hell am i gonna do with an ounce of evaporated milk?
Damn, this guy fucks
