What is the pinch method?

The pinch method is a cooking technique used to measure the amount of seasoning or spice that is added to a dish. It involves holding a small amount of the seasoning or spice between your thumb and forefinger and sprinkling it into the dish. This method ensures that the correct amount of seasoning is added, as the cook can adjust the amount by adding more or less with each pinch. The pinch method is commonly used with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices and is a handy technique to master for any home cook.
