That doesn’t sound difficult to me. I infer it’s merely not what you’re used to.

Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
jbrains@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoTake a 1-cup measuring cup, chop celery until it’s full. That doesn’t sound difficult to me. I infer it’s merely not what you’re used to.
I tend to prefer to weigh ingredients, but I also have measuring cups and spoons and using them is not so onerous. 🤷♂️

But celery is blocky and has gaps and doesn’t pack well, the amount you get changes drastically depending on how fine you chop it and on random packing.

I’m not arguing that it’s wise. I’m merely arguing that it’s not nearly as inexplicable as that comment made it seem.

Why do you care about the tiny variations in volume? Recipe measurements very rarely need to be precise.
