1/2 pound (225 g)
What kind of insanity is this a pound is 500g.
2 cups (390 g) rice
Your cups weigh 195g? Reasonable for stoneware, I guess. But why are you telling me and what does it have to do with the mass of rice?

I would love to see more systematic recipe formats.
Around 15-20 years ago there was a website called “Cooking for Engineers” that used a table format for recipes that was pretty clever, and a very useful diagram for how to visualize the steps (at least for someone like me). I don’t think he ever updated the site to be mobile friendly but you can see it here:
He describes the recipe in a descriptive way, but down at the bottom it lists ingredients and how they go together in a chart that shows what amounts to use, what ingredients go into a particular step, what that step is, and how the product of that step feeds into the next step.

Oh damn that’s a sensical format. I love it and may put my recipes in it once I start writing them properly
