"Glug of Oilve Oil"?
Would like your help if anyone tried cooking from Jamie Oliver's
cookbook. There are several recipe in his cookbook (jamie at home) when he mentions using olive oil without the measurement, he keeps using the word "Glug of olive oil", what does this mean? How much oil should I use? example "Get a really large frying pan on the heat and add a glug of olive oil" |

How much oil > should I use? Americana cookery is inexact at times and uses terms like this when exact measuring isnt needed. A 'glug' is about when you would hear the bottle 'glug' back at you when pouring fast. If you want to be pendantic, yes the size of the bottle matters ;-) Call it 2-3 TB when talking liquid oils. In my recipes, I also use 'squizzle' for Tiparos patis. You pinhole the top to make a squeezable bit and a squizzle is one squeeze. Amount about 1/4 TS. |

According to pythagoras the parameters of oil glugs is soley dependant on the circumference of your waistline divided by the volume of your ass when you look in the mirror. |
