When to Use Pinches vs Dashes
Pinches are typically used for very small amounts of seasonings where precision isn't crucial. A pinch is roughly the amount you can pick up between your thumb and forefinger. Dashes are slightly larger and are often used in recipes where a bit more seasoning is needed but exact measurements aren't critical.
