    From what I can tell Americans used to use scales for dry measures (in ounces) but somewhere along the line, they switched to volume measures for everything.

    As a Canadian, it’s really frustrating because often will get the American versions of UK cookbooks here which are both not metric and not weights.

    I enjoy my Australian cookbooks with metric weights.

    Yeah, it’s sort of rare outside of, like, foodies and and YouTubers to use weight for cooking. We switched to it about a decade back, and it’s been amazing. That’s actually what got me to switch to metric for just about everything.
