So many of the ingredients I need for cooking appear in minuscule quantities, like a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, a few teaspoons of ground spices, or a knob of soft room temperature butter to finish a pan sauce. It seems silly to keep a tablespoon of something in a bowl—even the smallest prep bowls feel too big for the tiny amount of an ingredient I need to have measured out.

Recipes are designed to facilitate and control a series of chemical reactions, like the leavening of bread or thickening of custard; if even one step goes awry, your baked goods will likely reflect the error. Seasoned bakers are often able to troubleshoot based solely on the final product: Sunken cake layers are signs of underbaking or the addition of too much leavening agent; a cracked cheesecake may be the result of overmixed batter or ingredients that had not reached room temperature.
