"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"

Or the mouth size of the bottle!

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

It also depends on the size (surface area) of the pan.
To me a glug means a thin layer of oil in the pan.

As much as appropriate for the pan.

Just slosh a bit in. If it doesn't look like enough to cover the pan
nicely, add a little more. It's not necessary to be absolutely
accurate if it's just oil to cook in.

And for the recipe. We're really just guessing since there's no clue as to
what the recipe is.

I guess, it's one of those times where the quality of the result really
does not depend much on the amount of oil so silly quantities can be
given.

That requires the same mathematical formula one uses in determining
how much to butter bread. 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.

It's odd, I measure most things but have never considered measuring oil for
frying.

No, now retired but trained as a scientist. I usually succesfully ignore
most specifications of amounts of oil while using a non-stick pan. I
don't deep fry.

Isn't a snort what comes out your nose when you laugh? My guess is
that it's less than a glug.... more like a spray.

Geeze, Janet. We were trying our best to help in layman's terms and
then you got all technical on us. I don't know if the OP can
understand your high falutin' description of how to "pour" OO.

Seconded. I'm not even a real cook, but I know exact measurements aren't
required in most things, baking excluded.

A dozen years ago I'd have told you it was a line of white powder as thick
as a pencil about 4 inches long.
Those days are gone. Now a snort would be a double shot of whisky.

Do you look at your ass in the mirror often?
I mostly look at my ever expanding abdomen.

You can fry with a glug? For me, a glug is saute only. I wouldn't
want to fry with OO anyway.

I only use Olive oil. I keep extra light and extra virgin, use the former to
fry. What I am usually doing is browning to braise. For seafood I use
butter.
