eli5, how do contestants on baking shows know the exact measurements for recipes?

622 views

Frequently on different baking shows bakers will be surprised with the challenge they have to create. Now baking isn’t like cooking where you can eyeball measurements, and i doubt they have every single recipe they know completely memorized, so how is it they know measurements for things like baking powder?

When I was young, my sister and I would make pancakes from a pre-made mix every Saturday. By this point, I just dump a bunch of mix into the bowl and eyeball the milk. Now scale that up for someone who is actually good at cooking, with knowledge of how each ingredient will affect the result.
