When I am cooking creatively, I very seldom measure anything. One thing I do
measure in savory dishes is the salt. For most average size dishes, I add
one "Justin" of salt.
What is a "Justin"? Well, it's a measurement my Cajun Mother taught me. I
did not know of a name for it until I saw Justin Wilson, the Cajun Chef use
it in one of his TV shows: So it became a "Justin" in our family. Cup your
left palm, pour in enough salt to fill the hollow to the level experience
teaches you. I've measured it many times, and it is always exactly 1 tsp.
Does anyone else have a reliable "hand" measurement that they use with
consistency?
