Trait et pincée

Définition

Un trait est une mesure culinaire informelle d'environ 1/8 de cuillère à café (0,6 mL), et une pincée est d'environ 1/16 de cuillère à café (0,3 mL).

Explication

Neither unit has a universally fixed definition; recipes rely on cook judgment. In cocktail mixing, a dash of bitters is more standardized at roughly 0.9 mL from a dasher-top bottle. A 'smidgen' sits between the two at about 1/32 teaspoon. These micro-measures matter most for potent flavorings like cayenne, where a tablespoon instead of a pinch would ruin a dish.
