My answer is this, it is good to use those devices for practice. Like a carpenter that needs a piece of 2x4x6 cut for general purpose, he can usually eyeball it, because of years of practice. A good traffic cop can see if you are speeding without him looking at his radar gun. It's that sixth sense you grow.
So here's the deal, use em. Learn what a teaspoon looks like as opposed to a tablespoon. Learn what a quarter cup looks like as opposed to half a cup. You get the idea. And a lot of it is tasting, smelling, feeling it. Your senses will develop, you'll be able to just listen to a steak sizzling on a grill and know if it is cooking just right or not.
Cooking is feel man, plain and simple. Don't get too serious with measurments, use commn sense. Tasting a dish as you are finishing it is the key. And if your taste buds are off, have someone taste your creation, that's a good one.
So just keep on cooking.
Ron.
