In diagnostic pathology we want tests to be precise, accurate, reliable, reproducible, sensitive, and specific. In life, I’m a bit like that too. For cooking though, I’m pretty much close enough is good enough.
Why I don’t bake
Baking though requires precision. Baking is more like a chemistry experiment. Getting the right answer means being precise with measurements, timing, and understanding your oven like it’s the back of your hand.
I haven’t baked in anger since I left Brisbane in 1995 to live in Darwin. Ever since leaving Brisbane I’ve never had a lot of confidence in the ovens in the places I’ve lived in.
