Well, when I was in the service they taught us not to memorize torque specs (how much to tighten a bolt) and look them up before tightening. It seems the same goes for cooking.

When I cook from memory I often leave things out and the resulting meal isn't necessarily what I was planning on. So I get out my favorite recipes and follow them so my trusted dinners come out as I expect.
