Cookbook talk:Saffron Rice

I am curious about two things: -The saffron rice recipies on the net seem to be asking for way too much saffron. Only a few threads are necessary. -How in the world are you supposed to measure saffron with a half teaspoon? aaron 70.182.5.90 00:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Some recipes ask for far too little saffron as a way to cut costs. These recipes often include Cookbook:Turmeric as a way to give a bright yellow color, but the taste is pretty bad. AlbertCahalan 05:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


 * You measure it just like you'd measure any other awkward thing. Give it your best effort. You don't need to pack it down. Being off by a large amount is unlikely to ruin the dish; ruining the dish is easily done by making large errors involving salt or the rice itself. AlbertCahalan 05:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
