CREAMY scrambled eggs with...CORNSTARCH!

[csziggy]

10. 1/2 4/8 the +1/8 per egg for three eggs makes 15/8 or 1 and 7/8 for three eggs

I think your figures got scrambled in the subject line!

The problem is that few sets of measuring spoons even have a 1/8 teaspoon measure so measuring that small amount correctly is difficult.

The original figure of 1 - 3/4 teaspoons divides by three as 1 (8/8) and 3/4 (6/8) or 14/8. When divided by 3 that should get 4/8 (1/2)with 2/8 left over to be divided by three which just doesn't work. For spices, I'd just drop the 0.6667/8, but I guess for cornstarch it would work.

On the other hand, I have this measuring spoon set - https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/baker-39-s-dozen-13-piece-measuring-cups-and-spoons-set/1012949855?opbthead=true&ta=typeahead&keyword=measuring-cups - which not only has a 1/8 spoon, it has ones to measure tad, dash, pinch and smidgen. So I could figure out which one is 1/16 and go from there!
