If fractions stress you out, use a cheat sheet: write the steps on a sticky note for your kitchen cabinet. Better yet, invest in a set of measuring cups marked in both decimals and fractions—they’re the yoga mat of cooking: grounding and non-judgmental. Remember, practice makes perfect, but a digital kitchen scale works wonders too.
Another hack: round up slightly if you’re baking. For example, 5/6 of a cup is just one tablespoon shy of a full cup. In baking, that tiny difference can mean the difference between a fluffy cake and a doorstop. But for most savory recipes, your taste buds won’t notice a millimeter of difference.
