Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 months agoI’m happy that you don’t need it, but some of us like better precision. Plus, it’s convenient to put a mixing bowl on a scale and add things by weight, rather than using numerous measuring cups.

Exactly. You need to use a cup to move the thing from its container to a mixing bowl, might as well use a measuring cup

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.
