Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    Spoon out sugar, spoon out flour, pour in milk, pour in oil, drop bits of other things in until you get to the weight needed. Even if you wash all of the spoons, it’s easier than measuring cups. At worst, you still use a measuring cup or two, but still fewer than before.

    Look, I was with you until recently, but your argument really has no leg to stand on.
