Measuring ingredients by count is done in these circumstances:
  1. When units are in fairly standard sizes. Examples: 6 large eggs for a pancake batter; 8 parsley stems for a stock.
  2. When serving portions are determined by numbers of units. Examples: 1 baked apple per portion; 6 fried shrimp per portion.
