Japanese Cooking Way?

Question:


What do the Japanese use to cook with? i want to start cooking Japanese way. I know they weigh instead of volume. So what do they use to weigh things? For volume you use a measuring cup.

Answer:


Japanese use volume too. The use scales to weigh, and they use measuring cups for volume. However, a cup in Japan is 200 mL, not 250. I don't know why. It seems in Japan there isn't the cultural background of a "quarter" meaning much. There's no 25 yen coin and no 250 mL cups.

What do Japanese use to cook with? Pots, pans, chopsticks, hot plates, takoyaki machines, microwaves, wooden spoons, ...

Get a book on Japanese cooking and try out some recipes.
